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: off the centreline.

Plan view — the full 1,363 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 288 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, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an ATR 72, then departed from runway 35 at KAUG Augusta State Airport. The takeoff distance was 863 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 126 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of -1°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 350°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of KAUG Augusta State Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,210 feet above sea level to 15,446 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,236 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead KIAE Harrison Airport, lasting 14 minutes and covering 60 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile northeast of Dorchester, New Hampshire, descending from 14,888 feet above sea level to 6,579 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,309 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles east of Hanover, New Hampshire, lasting 5 minutes and covering 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile east of Chelsea, Vermont, descending from 5,749 feet above sea level to 2,478 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,271 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35 at KMPV Edward F Knapp State Airport was from the southeast, with a heading of 331.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,387 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 35 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 287 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 103 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -363 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 11.3 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at takeoff, with a temperature of -1°C. The total landing distance was 579 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 11.4 meters.
The flight ended with taxiing to the parking area from the runway, which took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 144 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 47 minutes. The aircraft used 472 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed at KMPV Edward F Knapp State Airport, achieving a score of 92.6%. The final approach to runway 35 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 331.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,387 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 103 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 110 knots. The touchdown distance of 287 meters was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -363 feet per minute was firm, suggesting a stable and controlled landing.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to slight variations in the aircraft's approach path or the pilot's alignment with the runway. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance and handling. Nevertheless, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's capabilities allowed for a successful landing, with the total landing distance of 579 meters being 42% of the runway length. Overall, the landing was considered good, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
