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: gear still up.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,585 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,585 m of the 2,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 508 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Cessna Longitude taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDVK Kassel Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 27, with a takeoff distance of 735 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 126 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of EDVK Kassel Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Calden, Hessen, Germany, and the aircraft climbed from 1,923 feet above sea level to 24,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,087 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile southwest of EDIH Hessisch Lichtenau Airfield, Hessisch Lichtenau, Germany, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 2 miles north of Rasdorf, Hessen, Germany, and descended from 24,006 feet above sea level to 5,288 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,719 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Langenselbold, Hessen, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 1 mile west of Hanau am Main, Hessen, Germany, and descended from 4,987 feet above sea level to 1,739 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,247 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was made from the east, heading 250.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,376 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 25R, which had a length of 2,795 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 119 knots.
The touchdown point was 87 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 106 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -174 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with negligible crosswind and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,499 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 116 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 31 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 495 kilograms.
The Cessna Longitude successfully landed on runway 25R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 97.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,376 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's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 119 knots. However, the touchdown point was located 87 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 106 knots was slightly faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -174 feet per minute (fpm) was satisfactory.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the aircraft experienced a slight headwind of 1 knot. The runway length of 2,795 meters was sufficient for the aircraft to come to a stop, with a total landing distance of 1,499 meters, which accounted for 54% of the available runway.
The pilot demonstrated excellent control during the rollout phase, maintaining a very good alignment with the runway centerline. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's skills were evident in their ability to navigate the aircraft safely to the ground.
