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.

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: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,483 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 760 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from CYYR Goose Bay Airport in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, began with a taxiing period of less than 1 nm, taking approximately 5 minutes to reach the runway. The Vision Jet then commenced its departure roll on runway 08, utilizing 64% of the available runway length of 2,145 meters to achieve liftoff at a speed of 92 kt. Local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 20 °C and a wind speed of 4 kt from 150 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
The enroute climb phase commenced approximately 1 mile northeast of the departure airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,145 ft above sea level to 31,010 ft, an increase of 29,865 ft in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nm. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 25 minutes and covering 524 nm, before initiating a descent phase from 31,005 ft to 1,893 ft, a decrease of 29,112 ft in 14 minutes, covering 99 nm. The final approach to runway 09 at BGJH Qaqortoq Heliport was conducted from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 92.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,345 ft above ground level.
The landing on runway 09 at BGJH Qaqortoq Heliport, with a length of 1,483 meters, was characterized by a touchdown point that utilized more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed of 79 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -29 fpm was considered perfect. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 19.3 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 17.1 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,120 meters, accounting for 75% of the available runway. The total flight distance was 712 nm, taking approximately 60 minutes, and the aircraft utilized 471 kg of fuel during the flight.
The final approach to runway 09 at BGJH Qaqortoq Heliport from the west was initiated at 4 nm and 1,345 ft above ground level, heading 92.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was above the target, reaching 97 kt, which may have been due to the prevailing wind conditions. The wind was blowing at 3 kt from 180°, resulting in a negligible headwind and a slight crosswind component.
The Vision Jet touched down at 79 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -29 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown point was located very far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available length. This may have been due to the pilot's decision to extend the flare or the aircraft's performance characteristics. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 19.3 m from the centreline, which could have been a result of the crosswind or the pilot's alignment during the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,120 m was 75% of the runway length, indicating a relatively long rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 17.1 m from the centreline, which may have been a result of the pilot's difficulty in maintaining alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 78.8%. However, there is room for improvement in terms of approach alignment and touchdown point management.
