See Arrival Final 1
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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
At the 300 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 2.8° glideslope and off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,606 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 128 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Cibao International Airport, the Cessna Skyhawk began its takeoff roll on runway 11, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 59 kt in a distance of 926 m, which accounted for 36% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it maintained a steady pace, completing the downwind turn in a distance of 2 nm and the downwind leg in 167 seconds, covering a distance of 4 nm. The subsequent base leg turn and base leg were executed smoothly, with the aircraft aligning itself for the final approach. The pilot then initiated the final turn, positioning the aircraft for a landing on runway 11. The approach was made from the west, with the aircraft descending at a rate of 467 ft agl, and the pilot maintained a heading of 103.0°. The landing was executed at a threshold speed of 53 kt, which was slightly below the target speed, but still resulted in a touchdown distance of 125 m, accounting for only 11% of the available runway length.
The aircraft touched down at a speed of 45 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of -115 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 287 m, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The flight, which covered a total distance of 11 nm, utilized 3 kg of fuel and lasted for 7 minutes. The overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the flight.
The Cessna Skyhawk touched down on runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport with a high degree of precision, showcasing a strong approach quality. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 467 feet above ground level (agl) at 1 nautical mile from the threshold, aligning itself with the runway heading of 103.0 degrees. The good threshold height and smooth touchdown rate of -115 feet per minute (fpm) indicated a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft displayed a satisfactory threshold speed of 53 knots, slightly below the target value. The touchdown distance of 125 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 45 knots was also good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill in maintaining a stable approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a negligible wind of 1 knot at 270 degrees, contributed to a smooth landing.
The Cessna Skyhawk's rollout was characterized by perfect alignment with the runway centerline, showcasing the pilot's ability to maintain control during the critical phase of landing. The total landing distance of 287 meters, representing 11% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance earned a score of 95.8%, reflecting the pilot's expertise and adherence to standard operating procedures.
