Hold the approach angle
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 1,116 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,116 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 155 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Cessna 152 began with a departure roll on runway 16 at RPSM Maasin. The takeoff distance required was 768 ft, which was 21% of the runway length. The liftoff speed reached 67 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were 81°F, with a wind speed of 1 knot coming from 235°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.
The pilot executed a right-hand pattern entry from runway 16 at RPSM Maasin, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 17 seconds. This was followed by a right-hand pattern crosswind from the same runway, traveling less than 1 nm in 31 seconds. During the pattern downwind turn, the aircraft flew a distance of 1 nm at an angle of 47.5° from the runway, before continuing onto the downwind leg and covering 2 nm in 84 seconds. The subsequent base leg turn was completed at a distance of 1 nm, with an angle of 48.1° to the runway. The final base leg was flown for less than 1 nm in 24 seconds.
The landing was executed on runway 16 at RPSM Maasin, which had a length of 3,660 ft. The aircraft was at a height of 23 ft above ground level at the threshold, with a speed of 54 knots. Touchdown occurred 503 ft from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 41 knots and a vertical speed indicator (VSI) reading of -98 ft/min. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 80°F, with a wind speed of 1 knot coming from 250°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance covered was 859 ft, which was 23% of the runway length.
Overall, the total flight distance covered was 6 nm, taking 5 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2 lbs of fuel during the flight.
