Hold the approach angle
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,993 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 288 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
On a clear day with a temperature of 60 °F and wind blowing at 1 kn from 270 °, the DA40-NG aircraft took off from runway 35 at LTBK Gaziemir Air Base in Gaziemir, Turkey. The takeoff distance was 1,363 ft, accounting for 30% of the runway, and the liftoff speed was 75 kn. The aircraft experienced a crosswind of 1 kn and no headwind during takeoff.
The climb phase began over the air base, ascending from 1,014 ft above sea level to 2,150 ft, marking a vertical increase of 1,135 ft in just 1 minute while covering a distance of 1 nm. After climbing, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 nm northwest of the air base and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm.
The landing approach took the DA40-NG to runway 35 at LTBL Çiğli Airport, which has a runway length of 9,821 ft. The aircraft descended to a height of 22 ft above ground level at the threshold, with a speed of 68 kn. The touchdown occurred 939 ft from the threshold at a speed of 54 kn, with a vertical speed indicator showing a descent rate of -58 ft/min. Similar to the takeoff, the landing encountered a 1 kn crosswind with no headwind.
The total landing distance was 2,748 ft, which represents 28% of the runway length. Throughout the flight, which covered a total distance of 14 nm, the DA40-NG consumed 7 lbs of fuel, taking 191 minutes to complete the journey.
