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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,439 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,439 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 29 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Typhoon, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Anglesey Airport, EGOV. This short taxiing period took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 13, with a takeoff distance of 612 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 217 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 28 knots from a direction of 180°. The crosswind component was 22 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots. After taking off, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead Aberffraw, Anglesey, Wales. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 987 feet above sea level to 8,690 feet, an increase of 7,704 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a descent, which started 6 miles north of Nefyn, Gwynedd, Wales. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 9,446 feet to 571 feet, a decrease of 8,875 feet, in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 36 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile north of Machynlleth, Sir Powys, Wales, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The level cruise was followed by another enroute climb, which started 4 miles east of Dolgellau, Gwynedd, Wales. This climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 939 feet to 40,119 feet, an increase of 39,180 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles east of Corwen, Denbighshire, Wales. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 39,930 feet to 910 feet, a decrease of 39,020 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at Hawarden Airport, EGNR, was made from the south-west, heading 40.0° at an altitude of 789 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 04, which had a length of 1,439 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 132 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 29 meters, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -589 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.4 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 192°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was 17 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 94 nautical miles, and the flight took 16 minutes. The aircraft used -5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Typhoon aircraft successfully landed at EGNR Hawarden Airport, achieving a score of 93.6%. The final approach was conducted from the south-west, heading 40.0° at 2 nautical miles and 789 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 04, which has a length of 1,439 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 132 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 29 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 130 knots was good. However, the touchdown rate was very hard, at -589 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.4 meters, which may be a minor concern for the pilots. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 19 knots from 192°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was 17 knots.
The total landing distance of 388 meters was 27% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway. However, the hard touchdown rate and slight misalignment from the centreline may be areas for improvement in future approaches.
