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 off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,553 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 122 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Frankfurt-Egelsbach Airport, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 26, with a takeoff distance of 516 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 72 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 295°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Erzhausen, Hessen, Germany, where the aircraft climbed from 751 feet above sea level to 3,939 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,188 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Seeheim-Jugenheim, Hessen, Germany, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 3,941 feet above sea level to 3,261 feet above sea level, a decrease of 679 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile west of Oelbronn-Duerrn, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its climb from 2,958 feet above sea level to 3,532 feet above sea level, an increase of 575 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south east of Bad Teinach-Zavelstein, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 61 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its climb from 4,187 feet above sea level to 4,722 feet above sea level, an increase of 535 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started overhead Raperswilen, Kanton Thurgau, Switzerland, where the aircraft descended from 4,758 feet above sea level to 4,066 feet above sea level, a decrease of 692 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started overhead LSPA Amlikon Airfield Amlikon, Kanton Thurgau, Switzerland, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its climb from 3,954 feet above sea level to 4,434 feet above sea level, an increase of 479 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south of Mosnang, Kanton St. Gallen, Switzerland, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile east of Gommiswald, Kanton St. Gallen, Switzerland, where the aircraft descended from 4,128 feet above sea level to 1,837 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,291 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 19 at LSMF Mollis was made from the north, heading 190.0° at 1 nautical mile and 340 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 19 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 119 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 51 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -242
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at LSMF Mollis, achieving a high score of 97.1%. The final approach to runway 19 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 190.0° at 1 nautical mile and 340 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled descent into the airport.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 59 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown distance of 119 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown speed of 51 knots was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
However, the touchdown rate of -242 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. A higher touchdown rate can be a concern, as it may indicate a harder-than-expected landing, which can put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially lead to damage. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a crucial aspect of a safe and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 0°. This minimal wind made the landing even more challenging, as the pilot had to contend with a slight tailwind of 5 knots. Despite this, the pilot managed to maintain perfect runway rollout alignment, which is a testament to their skill and experience.
The total landing distance of 420 meters, which accounts for 27% of the runway length, is also noteworthy. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently, without overrunning the runway. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
