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: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,322 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,322 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 381 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Pilatus PC-24 aircraft, registered as N971LY, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LSZC Buochs Airport. This process took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 06, with a takeoff distance of 511 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 103 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a gentle tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead Ennetburgen in the Kanton Nidwalden region of Switzerland. It climbed from an altitude of 2,437 feet above sea level to 20,018 feet, an increase of 17,581 feet, in just 5 minutes and covering a distance of 20 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Altendorf in the Kanton Schwyz region of Switzerland. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile north of Gommiswald in the Kanton St. Gallen region of Switzerland. It descended from an altitude of 19,991 feet to 2,658 feet, a decrease of 17,333 feet, in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 23 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 99.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,318 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 10, which had a length of 1,322 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 110 knots. The touchdown distance was 382 meters, and the touchdown speed was 98 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -253 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as during takeoff, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a gentle tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,123 meters, which accounted for 85% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 60 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 24 minutes. The aircraft used 294 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Pilatus PC-24 aircraft, registered as N971LY, successfully landed at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its final approach and landing. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 99.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,318 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's performance during the final approach was impressive, with a good threshold height and a touchdown speed of 98 kt, which was slightly below the threshold speed of 110 kt. The touchdown distance of 382 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, showcasing the pilot's ability to accurately align the aircraft with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 269°. This minimal wind had a negligible impact on the aircraft's performance, with a crosswind of 0 kt and a tailwind of 1 kt. The total landing distance of 1,123 meters was 85% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled rollout.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the Pilatus PC-24 aircraft, registered as N971LY, performed an excellent landing at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport, scoring 92.5% in the assessment.
