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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,462 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,462 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 530 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an ATR 72, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Dublin Airport, which took approximately 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 28L, with a takeoff distance of 710 meters, which is 27% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 118 knots.
As the aircraft departed Dublin Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 16 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Dublin Airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,047 feet above sea level to 19,483 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,436 feet in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 46 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 9 miles east of Castletown, Ireland, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 160 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles south-east of Teignmouth, England, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 19,391 feet above sea level to 7,233 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,158 feet in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 40 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started 28 miles north-west of Alderney Airport, Guernsey, and lasted for 54 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 28 miles north-west of Alderney Airport, Guernsey, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 7,233 feet above sea level to 1,567 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,666 feet in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started 7 miles north of Saint Peter Port, Guernsey, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 27 at Guernsey Airport, which was located to the east, with a heading of 249.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,108 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 27 at Guernsey Airport, which had a length of 1,462 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 101 knots. The touchdown point was 162 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 93 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -257 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 340°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 770 meters, which is 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 286 nautical miles, which was covered in 78 minutes, and the aircraft used 749 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed at Guernsey Airport (EGJB) on runway 27, achieving a score of 95.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 249.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,108 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 1,462 meters, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 101 knots.
The touchdown point was located 162 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal position. However, the touchdown speed of 93 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -257 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more gradual descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 10 knots from 340°, resulting in a 10-knot crosswind and a 3-knot headwind.
The total landing distance of 770 meters was 53% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled path after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown position and touchdown rate. The pilots' skills and the aircraft's performance were demonstrated to be effective in handling the challenging weather conditions and navigating the runway.
