Be on speed by the gate
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,559 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,559 m of the 1,830 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 610 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Learjet 35 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
The aircraft departed runway 16 at KPWK Chicago Executive Airport, applying a departure roll of 905 m which represented 59 % of the runway length. Liftoff was achieved at 146 kt. Ambient conditions were 20 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 310°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a tail-wind component of 2 kt.
The initial climb began 1 mile south of KPWK, climbing from 1,628 ft asl to 23,320 ft asl - an altitude gain of 21,692 ft - in 9 minutes while traversing 71 nm.
The first cruise segment commenced overhead Baroda, Michigan, and was maintained for 17 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 156 nm.
A subsequent climb started 4 miles west of Port Clinton, Ohio, rising from 23,798 ft asl to 32,992 ft asl, an increase of 9,193 ft, over a period of 10 minutes and a distance of 91 nm.
The second cruise phase began 1 mile southwest of 42OH Dunn Field, Newton Falls, Ohio, lasting 15 minutes and encompassing 135 nm.
En-route descent was initiated 1 mile southwest of Alexandria, Pennsylvania, descending from 33,006 ft asl to 1,939 ft asl - a loss of 31,067 ft - in 20 minutes while covering 138 nm.
A third cruise segment started overhead Ambler, Pennsylvania, lasting 5 minutes and extending 17 nm.
During final approach to runway 06 at KTTN Trenton Mercer Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,357 ft agl to 77 ft agl in 90 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 06 was executed with a runway length of 1,830 m; the threshold speed was recorded at 150 kt. Touchdown occurred 193 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 136 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 155 fpm and a very good alignment.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,477 m, representing 81 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the rollout.
The Learjet 35 taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 616 nm, required 84 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 1,027 kg of fuel.
The Learjet 35’s final approach to runway 06 at KTTN was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, being more than 20 kt above VREF. The aircraft descended from 1,357 ft agl to 77 ft agl in 90 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the height was good, but the threshold speed was well above target at 150 kt.
Touchdown occurred 193 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 136 kt, which the data describes as fast. The vertical rate at touchdown was good at minus 155 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,477 m, representing 81 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
Reduce the final-approach speed to meet the target value and aim to touch down near the 300 m (1,000 ft) aim point to keep the landing within the designated zone. Maintaining the correct speed will also help keep touchdown distance within runway limits.
