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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,184 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 438 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from TTCP A.N.R. Robinson International Airport in Scarborough, Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago, the ATR 72 aircraft began its journey with a taxiing period of 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 11, with a takeoff distance of 680 meters, accounting for 28% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 121 knots, taking advantage of the favorable headwind of 17 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of TTCP A.N.R. Robinson International Airport, it reached an altitude of 5,906 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,848 feet from the initial 1,058 feet. This climb phase, which lasted 4 minutes, covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. Subsequently, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 5,906 feet for 7 minutes while covering 30 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 4 miles north of Tunapuna, with the aircraft descending from 6,265 feet to 1,130 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,134 feet in 3 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at TTPP Piarco International Airport was conducted from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 92.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,066 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 111 knots, which was above the target speed. The touchdown distance was 437 meters, and the touchdown speed of 100 knots was slightly fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -112 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 615 meters, accounting for 19% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 57 nautical miles, using 293 kilograms of fuel in the process, and taking a total of 18 minutes to complete the flight.
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully executed a final approach to runway 10 at TTPP Piarco International Airport from the west, aligning with the runway at a heading of 92.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,066 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was above the target, reaching 111 knots, which may have been a result of the prevailing wind conditions. The wind was blowing at 12 knots from 111°, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and an 11-knot headwind.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 437 meters. The touchdown speed of 100 knots was slightly above the target, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -112 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26°C and a moderate wind, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 615 meters was 19% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 99.4%. The only minor areas for improvement were the slightly fast touchdown speed and the above-target threshold speed.
