Hold the approach angle
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.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,651 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 511 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Cessna C172 started with a departure roll on runway 18 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport. The takeoff distance was 384 meters, which was 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 70 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 15°C with 0 knots of wind at 0°, resulting in no crosswind or headwind conditions.
After departure, the pilot made a left-hand pattern entry from runway 18 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds. This was followed by a left-hand pattern crosswind from runway 18, covering 1 nautical mile in 62 seconds. The flight then transitioned into a pattern downwind turn, covering 2 nautical miles at an angle to the runway of 94.0°. The downwind leg covered 3 nautical miles in 102 seconds before the base leg turn, which covered 4 nautical miles at an angle to the runway of 26.4°. The base leg covered 1 nautical mile in 31 seconds, leading to the final turn which covered 2 nautical miles in 60 seconds.
The final approach to runway 18 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was made from the north, heading 175.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,049 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18 was successful, with a slightly high threshold speed of 91 knots and a touchdown point 70 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 70 knots was also noted as too fast, but the touchdown rate of 18 feet per minute was deemed perfect. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 670 meters, which was 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 13 nautical miles, taking 9 minutes and using 3 kilograms of fuel.
