Be on speed by the gate
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,710 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 631 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Learjet 35 taxied from the parking area to runway 35 at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport, a movement that required 40 minutes and covered 5 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 35, the aircraft achieved a takeoff distance of 608 m, representing 18 % of the runway, and lifted off at 140 kt. Local weather at the time was temperature 21 °C with wind 0 kt from 180 °, crosswind 0 kt and headwind 0 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile west of Moreira, ascending from 1,141 ft asl to 26,028 ft asl, an increase of 24,886 ft in 8 minutes while covering 24 nm.
A level cruise began overhead Povoa de Varzim, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nm.
Descent started overhead Vila Seca, dropping from 25,786 ft asl to 23,007 ft asl, a loss of 2,778 ft in 2 minutes over 10 nm.
A second level cruise was initiated 1 mile north-west of Ferreiros, continuing for 13 minutes and covering 93 nm.
Descent resumed 6 miles south-east of Pombal, decreasing altitude from 22,996 ft asl to 4,313 ft asl, a loss of 18,683 ft in 12 minutes across 64 nm.
A further level cruise started 2 miles north-east of Santo Isidoro, lasting 18 minutes and covering 72 nm.
The final descent began 3 miles south-west of Charneca de Caparica, descending from 3,994 ft asl to 1,384 ft asl, a loss of 2,610 ft in 2 minutes over 8 nm.
On final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,084 ft agl to 48 ft agl in 87 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 02 at LPPT, whose length is 3,710 m, recorded a threshold speed of 159 kt, a touchdown point 236 m beyond the touchdown zone, a touchdown speed of 140 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 219 fpm. Local weather was temperature 27 °C, wind 2 kt from 310 °, crosswind 2 kt, headwind 1 kt. Total landing distance was 1,074 m, 29 % of the runway; good threshold height was noted and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The aircraft taxied to parking from the runway in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 292 nm, took 66 minutes and used 751 kg of fuel.
Learjet 35 approached runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) with an unstable assessment at the 1,000 ft gate, being more than 20 kt above VREF, and completed a descent from 1,084 ft agl to 48 ft agl in 87 seconds while being scored on the stabilisation gates.
At the threshold the height was good but the threshold speed was too high at 159 kt, indicating excess speed carried into the flare.
Touchdown occurred 236 m beyond the touchdown zone with a fast touchdown speed of 140 kt, a fair touchdown rate of minus 219 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,074 m, representing 29 % of the 3,710 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
To improve the score, reduce speed to meet the VREF and target threshold speed, and adjust the flare to achieve a touchdown point within the designated zone.
