Hold the approach speed
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 992 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 992 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 152 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Edgley Optica aircraft departed from runway 23 at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield, rolling down the runway for a takeoff distance of 271 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 55 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 1 knot from a direction of 221 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb, passing overhead the Lido area in Veneto, Italy. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 722 feet above sea level to 908 feet, an increase of 186 feet in just one minute, while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying overhead the Giudecca area in Veneto, Italy.
As the aircraft approached the end of its flight, it began its final approach to runway 23 at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield, coming in from the north-east at a heading of 233.0 degrees and an altitude of 230 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, touching down at a speed of 38 knots and a distance of 149 meters, which was 22% of the runway's length. The touchdown rate was also good, at -174 feet per minute.
The landing was followed by a rollout phase, during which the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centerline by 11.4 meters. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking less than a minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 24 minutes, with the aircraft using 10 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Edgley Optica aircraft successfully landed at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield, achieving a score of 87.8%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, heading 233.0° at an altitude of 230 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles (nm) from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 38 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown distance of 149 meters was also satisfactory. The aircraft's descent rate at touchdown was -174 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 42 knots. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 219°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even smoother.
The total landing distance of 215 meters was only 22% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's rollout path.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed, distance, and descent rate. However, there were some minor issues with the alignment of the touchdown and rollout positions, which may require further attention and improvement.
