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 centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,331 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,331 m of the 2,896 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 697 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Learjet 35A, then departed from runway 31L at UGTB Tbilisi International Airport. The takeoff distance was 999 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 131 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 134°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead UGTB Tbilisi International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,574 feet above sea level to 4,385 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,811 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 2 miles north-east of Tbilisi, and it lasted for 10 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 38 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles north-east of Gardabani, and it took the aircraft from an altitude of 4,343 feet above sea level to 2,814 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,529 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 31L at UGGG Lochini was made from the south-east, with the aircraft heading 317.0° at an altitude of 1,186 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 31L was successful, with the touchdown point being 277 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 107 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -40 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 125°.
The total landing distance was 2,246 meters, which accounted for 78% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 56 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 20 minutes. The aircraft used 129 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Learjet 35A successfully landed at UGGG Lochini, achieving a score of 92.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 317.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,186 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 31L, which has a length of 2,896 meters. The threshold speed was satisfactory at 122 knots, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown point was 277 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 107 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -40 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 125°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 3 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 2,246 meters was 78% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and rollout.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control over the aircraft.
