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 five 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 103 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 28 at Victory Field, where the aircraft, a Rans S6S, successfully took off after covering 30 meters, which was 7% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 36 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 230 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Victory Field in Bethel Township, Ohio. The climb began at an altitude of 1,324 feet above sea level and reached a height of 1,842 feet above sea level, an increase of 518 feet in just 1 minute. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 27 at Andy Barnhart Memorial Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading at 273.0 degrees at an altitude of 945 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft then landed on runway 27, which had a length of 602 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 40 knots.
The touchdown distance was recorded as 100 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed was 33 knots, also considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -201 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 230 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. The aircraft used 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.
The Rans S-6 Coyote II aircraft successfully landed at 3OH0 Andy Barnhart Memorial Airport, achieving an impressive score of 82.5%. The final approach to runway 27 was executed from the east, with the aircraft heading 273.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 945 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a distance of 100 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed of 33 knots was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -201 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have made some adjustments to achieve a more optimal rate.
The threshold speed was slightly below the target of 40 knots, which may have been due to the pilot's cautious approach or the aircraft's performance characteristics. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 11°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly below-target threshold speed. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and situational awareness.
