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: gear still up and no landing flap set.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,433 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 686 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Black Square B36TP Bonanza Professional with the registration N6060E, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KGDK Greene Co Jackson Regl. This process took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 25, with a takeoff distance of 220 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 82 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 253 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile southwest of KGDK Greene Co Jackson Regl, near Dayton, Ohio. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,879 feet above sea level to 24,414 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,535 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 34 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started approximately 2 miles southeast of 16OI Trump Airport in Greenville, Ohio. This phase lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of 38 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started approximately 1 mile southwest of Berne, Indiana. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 24,515 feet above sea level to 2,074 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,441 feet, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32 at KFWA Fort Wayne International Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 315.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,252 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 32, which had a length of 2,433 meters. The threshold height at 56 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was 98 knots. The touchdown point was 248 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 71 knots and an excellent touchdown rate of -76 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,020 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 96 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 47 minutes. The aircraft used 68 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, a Black Square B36TP Bonanza Professional with the registration N6060E, successfully landed at KFWA Fort Wayne International Airport. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 315.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on runway 32, which has a length of 2,433 meters. The threshold height at 56 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach path. However, the threshold speed of 98 knots was achieved, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown point was located 248 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 71 knots was lower than the threshold speed, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown rate of -76 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, suggesting a well-executed landing with minimal impact on the aircraft's structure.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance of 1,020 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was well-controlled and that the pilot executed a smooth and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop in a short distance. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the execution of the landing, and the aircraft's performance was well within the expected parameters.
