Hold the glidepath
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 six 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: glideslope 1.5° against the runway's 3° and speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 123 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 1.9° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,009 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,715 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Colonel James Jabara Airport in Wichita, Kansas, the aircraft began its journey with a taxiing period of six minutes, covering a distance of one nautical mile. Following a departure roll from runway 36, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 135 knots, utilizing 2,392 feet of runway, which represented 39% of the available length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind of six knots from a direction of 340 degrees, resulting in a headwind component of six knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 106 nautical miles, increasing its altitude by 41,983 feet in 18 minutes. The climb phase was initiated overhead Colonel James Jabara Airport, and the aircraft continued to ascend until it reached a cruise altitude of 43,997 feet. Following a 23-minute level cruise, the aircraft began its descent, reducing its altitude by 35,006 feet in 23 minutes as it covered a distance of 146 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent a series of climbs and descents, adjusting its altitude to navigate through the terrain. The final approach to runway 17L at Denver International Airport was initiated from a distance of four nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 861 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 17L, utilizing 3,489 feet of runway, which represented 29% of the available length. The touchdown point was 326 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 112 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned. Following a taxiing period of eight minutes, the aircraft arrived at its parking location, having covered a total distance of 458 nautical miles and utilizing 88 minutes of flight time, with a fuel consumption of three pounds.
The final approach to runway 17L at KDEN Denver International Airport from the north was initiated at 4 nm and 861 ft above ground level, heading 183.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 74 ft above ground level, which was well above the target. The threshold speed of 122 kt was good, indicating a well-executed approach.
As the aircraft touched down 326 ft beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 112 kt was slightly above the target, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -414 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 ft from the centreline, which could have been a result of the crosswind component of 9 kt. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 37 °F and a wind of 10 kt at 179°, did not significantly impact the approach or landing.
The total landing distance of 3,489 ft was 29% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 32 ft from the centreline, which could have been a result of the pilot's attempt to maintain directional control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance of Aircraft C750 scored 84.5%, reflecting a good but not exceptional performance.
