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: no landing flap set and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,519 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,519 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 717 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the OV-10 Bronco taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Williston Basin International Airport (KXWA), taking approximately 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 14, with a takeoff distance of 1,115 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 98 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the tailwind was 3 knots. After departing from KXWA, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead the airport and climbing from 2,610 feet above sea level to 2,864 feet, an increase of 254 feet in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The enroute level cruise started overhead KXWA and lasted for 29 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 14 miles east of Fort Peck Airport (37S) and climbing from 3,124 feet to 4,080 feet, an increase of 957 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 8 miles east of Fort Peck Airport and lasted for 4 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Glasgow Valley County Airport Wokal Field (KGGW), it began its final approach to runway 30 from the southeast, heading 315.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,040 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 30, which had a length of 1,519 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 115 knots.
The touchdown point was 288 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 92 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -291 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 270 degrees, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 935 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 122 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 41 minutes, using 259 kilograms of fuel.
The OV-10 Bronco aircraft successfully landed at KGGW Glasgow Valley County Airport Wokal Field, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the south east, heading 315.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,040 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was too high at 115 knots, indicating a slight deviation from optimal landing procedures.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 288 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant distance. The touchdown speed of 92 knots was also a bit fast, suggesting that the pilot could have applied more braking or flared the aircraft earlier to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -291 feet per minute was fair, but could be improved upon.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.5 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the aircraft landing beyond the touchdown zone. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C, wind at 6 knots from 270°, and a crosswind of 4 knots and headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance of 935 meters was 62% of the runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This suggests that the aircraft may have been able to stop more quickly if the pilot had applied more braking or used the aircraft's reverse thrust more effectively. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the aircraft's overall landing performance.
Overall, while the OV-10 Bronco aircraft successfully landed at KGGW Glasgow Valley County Airport Wokal Field, there are areas for improvement in terms of threshold speed, touchdown speed, and runway alignment. With some adjustments to the pilot's technique and aircraft performance, the aircraft could achieve a more optimal landing.
