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: off the runway's 3° glideslope.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,266 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 532 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 1.81 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Las Américas International Airport in Santo Domingo, the PC-24 VIP aircraft began its journey with a taxiing period of 10 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 35, with a takeoff distance of 1,063 meters, accounting for 32% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 134 knots, amidst local weather conditions of 24°C temperature and a 5-knot wind at 50°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Santo Domingo, it ascended from 1,031 feet above sea level to 38,014 feet, a vertical increase of 36,982 feet, in 21 minutes and covering 102 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 18 miles north of Cabarete, Dominican Republic, and lasted for 233 minutes, covering 1,471 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing altitude from 37,996 feet to 25,246 feet, a decrease of 12,749 feet, in 13 minutes and covering 77 nautical miles. The final descent phase started 4 miles south of Springfield, Maine, and concluded with a landing on runway 01 at Presque Isle International Airport.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed well above the target at 126 knots, and a touchdown speed of 107 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 148 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 930 meters, accounting for 41% of the runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 1,746 nautical miles, with a flight time of 300 minutes and a fuel consumption of 1,626 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 01 at KPQI Presque Isle International Airport was conducted from the south, aligning with the heading of 343.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 879 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was above the target, reaching 126 knots, which may have been due to the prevailing wind conditions. The wind was blowing at 9 knots from 299°, resulting in a 7-knot headwind and a 7-knot crosswind.
The aircraft touched down 148 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 107 knots. The touchdown rate of -186 feet per minute was within acceptable limits. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centreline, the overall touchdown characteristics were good. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26°C and a moderate wind, did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 930 meters was 41% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.8 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to the pilot's response to the initial touchdown position. Despite this, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 91.4%.
