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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,088 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 566 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KTVY Bolinder Field Tooele Valley Airport, the A2A Piper Aerostar 600, registered as NI22PC, began its journey with a taxiing period of 13 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 17, utilizing 41% of the 751-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 98 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 26°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots from 210°, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and an 11-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south of KTVY, reaching an altitude of 8,472 feet above sea level in 7 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a 5-minute level cruise overhead Rush Valley, during which the aircraft covered 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated another climb 2 miles northeast of Vernon, increasing its altitude by 1,135 feet in 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a 13-minute level cruise 2 miles south of 57TL DOCILF Topliff, during which the aircraft covered 42 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent overhead Midway, reducing its altitude by 2,478 feet in 3 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at KHCR Heber City Mun-McDonald was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 238.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,042 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down 137 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 84 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -122 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 889 meters, accounting for 43% of the 2,089-meter runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 96 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 39 minutes and a fuel consumption of 41 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 22 at KHCR Heber City Mun-Mcdonald was executed from the north east, heading 238.0° at 2 nm and 1,042 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height allowing for a controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, reaching 102 kt, which may have been due to the prevailing wind conditions.
As the aircraft touched down, it did so 137 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 84 kt. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -122 fpm, indicating a well-controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating excellent pilot control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23 °C and wind at 11 kt from 169°, resulted in a crosswind of 10 kt and a headwind of 6 kt.
The total landing distance was 889 m, accounting for 43% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was scored 96.4%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot.
