Be on speed by the gate
See Arrival Approach
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set and speed 76 kt FAST on the reference speed of 67 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 75 kt FAST on the reference speed of 67 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,611 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,611 m of the 3,037 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 434 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Grabenstetten Airfield, a Kodiak 100 aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 29, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 78 kt in a distance of 428 m, which accounted for 39% of the available runway. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 12 °C and a gentle wind of 2 kt from 250°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft climbed away from Grabenstetten, it transitioned into a steady enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 2,856 ft asl in 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nm. The climb was followed by a brief level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 9 nm. Subsequent climbs and level cruises took the aircraft to higher altitudes, with notable increases in altitude and distance covered. Notably, the climb from 3,353 ft asl to 5,506 ft asl in 5 minutes, covering 14 nm, demonstrated the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude. The final descent phase began 1 mile south of Hildrizhausen, with the aircraft descending from 5,485 ft asl to 2,583 ft asl in 3 minutes, covering 9 nm.
The aircraft then initiated its final approach to runway 07 at Stuttgart Airport, aligning with the runway at 4 nm and 1,345 ft agl. However, a go-around was executed at 82 ft agl, necessitating a re-initiation of the approach. The subsequent landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 62 kt and a smooth touchdown rate of -146 fpm. The total landing distance of 1,522 m, accounting for 50% of the available runway, was within acceptable limits. Following a smooth taxiing period, the aircraft came to a stop, having covered a total distance of 99 nm and consumed 114 kg of fuel during the flight, which lasted 42 minutes.
The final approach to runway 07 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport from the west was initiated at 4 nm and 1,345 ft above ground level, heading 74.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 98 kt, indicating a slight deviation from optimal landing conditions.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited good characteristics, with a touchdown speed of 62 kt and a smooth touchdown rate of -146 fpm. The touchdown distance of 436 m was also within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating precise control and coordination during the landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11 °C and a gentle tailwind of 2 kt, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,522 m, which accounted for 50% of the runway length, was reasonable. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 88.1%, reflecting a satisfactory outcome despite some minor deviations from optimal conditions.
