Hold the approach angle
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 1,419 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,419 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 137 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The ATR-72 taxied from the parking area to runway 16C at LOWG Graz Airport in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 16C, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 717 m, representing 26 % of the runway, and lifted off at 119 kt; ambient conditions were 27 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 139°, including a 4 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced 1 mile north of Zettling, Austria, where the aircraft rose from 2 073 ft asl to 19 508 ft asl, a gain of 17 435 ft achieved in 17 minutes while covering 54 nm.
The first level cruise began 2 miles west of Wald am Schoberpass, Austria, lasting 24 minutes and extending over 91 nm.
Descent started 1 mile south-west of Tacherting, Germany, with the aircraft descending from 19 998 ft asl to 4 010 ft asl, a loss of 15 987 ft in 13 minutes and traversing 54 nm.
A second level cruise was initiated 1 mile south-west of Erdweg, Germany, lasting 5 minutes and covering 16 nm.
The final approach to runway 25 at EDMA Augsburg Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 252.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1 527 ft agl.
Landing on runway 25 was executed with a threshold speed of 96 kt, touchdown occurring 137 m down the runway at 92 kt and a descent rate of minus 166 fpm; the touchdown point was offset 3.2 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 592 m, equivalent to 42 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, with the aircraft remaining on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 222 nm, taking 68 and used 882 kg of fuel.
The ATR 72 conducted the final approach to runway 25 at EDMA Augsburg Airport from the east, tracking a heading of 252.0° at 4 nm and 1,527 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft entered the flare with a speed of 96 kt, noted as a little below target, and a good threshold height. Touchdown occurred 137 m down the runway at 92 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 166 fpm, and the total landing distance was 592 m, representing 42 % of the 1,419 m runway. Ambient conditions were temperature 21 °C, wind 7 kt from 330°, giving a 7 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
The touchdown point was 137 m from the threshold and the aircraft touched down at 92 kt with a rate of minus 166 fpm. Runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, being 3.2 m off the centreline.
Rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centred throughout the remaining runway length.
With a final score of 98.1 % the landing was strong; refining centreline alignment by adjusting the aim point and fine-tuning the threshold speed to meet the target will further optimise performance.
