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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.

Side view — the last 3,981 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 3,981 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,297 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at Dickinson Theodore Roosevelt Regional Airport, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 25, with a takeoff distance of 2,171 feet, which was 46% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 96 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Dickinson, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 68°F and winds of 3 knots at 234°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of the airport and continued for 17 minutes, covering 65 nautical miles, as the aircraft ascended from 3,512 feet above sea level to 26,586 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,074 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 4 miles north of Watford City Mun Airport, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 41 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles southeast of Roy Lohse Alamo Airport, and continued for 9 minutes, covering 51 nautical miles, as it descended from 26,558 feet above sea level to 10,769 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,789 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 18 miles south of Weyburn Airport in Saskatchewan, Canada, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The enroute descent started 17 miles south of Weyburn Airport and continued for 7 minutes, covering 16 nautical miles, as the aircraft descended from 10,304 feet above sea level to 3,738 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,566 feet.
The final approach to runway 30 at Weyburn Airport was from the southeast, with a heading of 313.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,783 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,291 feet, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 69 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -156 feet per minute was good. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at Weyburn Airport were a temperature of 66°F and winds of 3 knots at 143°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 2,837 feet, which was 71% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 179 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 50 minutes. The aircraft used 361 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at CJE3 Weyburn Airport, achieving a score of 93.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 313.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,783 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 3,981 feet and its orientation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was notably higher than the target speed, reaching 83 knots. This may indicate that the pilot was slightly more aggressive in their approach, but it did not compromise the overall safety of the landing. The touchdown distance of 1,291 feet was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 69 knots was slightly above the desired speed, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown rate of -156 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 23 feet, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. However, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 143°, contributed to a minimal crosswind and tailwind effect, which may have made the landing slightly easier.
The total landing distance of 2,837 feet was 71% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and ensured a smooth transition from the landing to the taxi phase. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at CJE3 Weyburn Airport was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
