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.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 414 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 35 at EGFD Llandbehr Airport, where the Sirius aircraft successfully took off after covering a distance of 318 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 79 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 35, it covered a distance of 1 nautical mile in 15 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind maneuver was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 25 seconds, demonstrating the aircraft's agility and responsiveness. The final approach to runway 17 was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading at 134.0 degrees and flying at an altitude of 212 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.
Upon landing on runway 17, which had a length of 2,191 meters, the aircraft touched down with a good threshold height and a touchdown speed of 51 knots, which was well within the target range. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 413 meters. The touchdown rate was perfect at -42 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind blowing at 3 knots from a direction of 224 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 736 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing and rollout phases. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. The aircraft consumed a total of 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as Sirius, has successfully landed at EGFD Llandbehr Airport, achieving a score of 89.3%. The final approach to runway 17 was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 134.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 212 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,191 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 63 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 413 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 51 knots.
The touchdown rate was particularly impressive, with a rate of -42 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway as it touched down. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 224°.
The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was also 2 knots. As a result, the total landing distance was 736 meters, which is 34% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled as it rolled out of the landing.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
