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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,710 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,710 m of the 2,646 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 432 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Kaunas International Airport, the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 12 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 26, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 135 knots. The takeoff distance of 2,035 meters accounted for 77% of the available runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 14°C.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb phase, commencing at an altitude of 790 feet above sea level and increasing to 3,261 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The climb was initiated overhead Ramuciai, a location within Kaunas County, Lithuania. Following the enroute climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 3,261 feet for 3 minutes while covering 10 nautical miles. This phase was conducted 2 miles west of S. Darius and S. Girėnas Airfield Kaunas. The enroute descent phase was subsequently initiated, with the aircraft descending from 3,860 feet to 1,632 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. This phase was conducted overhead Kacergine, another location within Kaunas County, Lithuania.
Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft began its descent towards runway 08 at Kaunas International Airport, approaching from the west at a heading of 86.0° and an altitude of 1,365 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 429 meters and a touchdown speed of 106 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -365 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 20.5 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,615 meters accounted for 61% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 37 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 21 minutes and a fuel consumption of 317 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 08 at EYKA Kaunas International Airport from the west was conducted at a heading of 86.0°, commencing at 4 nm and 1,365 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height observed. The aircraft was established on the localizer at the correct threshold speed of 115 kt, indicating a well-executed approach.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 106 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of -365 fpm. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 429 m, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing phase. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 20.5 m from the centreline, which would require attention during the post-flight debrief. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 °C.
The total landing distance of 1,615 m was 61% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. Unfortunately, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 20.5 m from the centreline, highlighting the need for further training or review of the landing technique. Overall, the landing was scored 88.0%, reflecting the satisfactory approach quality and touchdown characteristics, but the significant misalignment during touchdown and rollout phases detracted from the overall performance.
