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 five 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 sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
At the 500 ft gate: gear still up.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,896 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 298 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KFLG Flagstaff Pulliam International Airport took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600, NI22PC, then began its departure roll on runway 21, utilizing 22% of the available runway length to achieve a takeoff distance of 459 meters. Liftoff speed was reached at 95 knots, with a local temperature of 13°C and a headwind of 7 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb phase, starting overhead Kachina Village, Arizona. The aircraft ascended from 7,960 feet above sea level to 9,530 feet, an increase of 1,570 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase followed, lasting 5 minutes and covering 19 nautical miles, before the aircraft began another climb phase, this time from 9,004 feet to 9,644 feet, an increase of 640 feet in 2 minutes. The final enroute climb phase concluded with a descent from 9,653 feet to 5,718 feet, a decrease of 3,935 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 22 at KINW Winslow Lindbergh Regional Airport, aligning with the runway from the northeast at 2 nautical miles and 761 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 299 meters, a touchdown speed of 76 knots, and a touchdown rate of -60 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 664 meters, utilizing 35% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 64 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 30 minutes and a fuel consumption of 33 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 22 at KINW Winslow Lindbergh Regional Airport was executed from the north east, heading 243.0° at 2 nm and 761 ft agl. The aircraft, NI22PC, demonstrated excellent approach quality, with a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold height was good, allowing for a precise touchdown. The threshold speed of 90 kt was also well-managed, indicating a high degree of pilot proficiency.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it exhibited good touchdown characteristics, with a speed of 76 kt and a touchdown distance of 299 m. The touchdown rate of -60 fpm was particularly impressive, showcasing the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22 °C and a wind of 4 kt at 227°, presented a relatively calm environment for the landing.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment on the runway. The total landing distance of 664 m, which accounted for 35% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was scored 99.3%, reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot. The combination of good approach quality, precise touchdown, and controlled rollout resulted in a seamless and safe landing.
