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.

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: gear still up and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: gear still up, sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,219 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,219 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 283 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight was conducted on an Embraer EMB121 aircraft, departing from runway 28 at SNNU Nanuque Airport. The takeoff distance was 52 meters, which accounted for only 4% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 103 knots, indicating a smooth and efficient departure.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb, starting overhead Nanuque in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The climb was steep, with an increase of 1,798 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to reach an altitude of 3,080 feet above sea level.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Nanuque. The descent was gradual, with a decrease of 1,361 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This controlled descent allowed the aircraft to maintain a safe and stable altitude.
As the aircraft approached the runway, it began its final approach to runway 10 at SNNU Nanuque Airport. The approach was made from the west, heading 71.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 969 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 94 knots and a touchdown rate of -395 feet per minute.
The touchdown distance was 281 meters, which was well within the acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a precise and controlled landing. The total landing distance was 587 meters, accounting for 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout.
The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. The aircraft used 28 kilograms of fuel during the flight, indicating an efficient use of resources. The local weather conditions during the flight were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees.
The Embraer EMB121 aircraft successfully landed at SNNU Nanuque Airport, achieving a high score of 96.1%. The final approach to runway 10 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 71.0° at 1 nautical mile and 969 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled descent into the airport.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach. The threshold speed of 105 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown distance of 281 meters was also good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft to a safe and controlled stop.
The touchdown speed of 94 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -395 feet per minute (fpm) was firm but not excessive. This suggests that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and was able to bring it to a safe and controlled stop. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and consistent approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind of 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 587 meters was 48% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's speed and descent to bring it to a safe and controlled stop within a reasonable distance.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the Embraer EMB121 aircraft performed well during the landing, achieving a high score and demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise in navigating the aircraft to a safe and controlled stop.
