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: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and sink rate 1,734 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,087 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,482 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Düsseldorf Airport (EDDL), the aircraft began its journey on runway 23L, where it accelerated to liftoff speed of 56 kt in a takeoff distance of 1,035 ft, which represented 13% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 60 °F and a moderate wind of 10 kt from 11 °, resulting in a crosswind of 7 kt and a tailwind of 7 kt.
Following a brief enroute level cruise that lasted 21 minutes and covered 41 nm, the aircraft commenced its final approach to runway 13R at Cologne Bonn Airport (EDDK) from the north-west. However, a go-around was initiated at 769 ft agl due to an unidentified reason. The aircraft subsequently executed a successful landing on the same runway, with a touchdown speed of 45 kt and a touchdown rate of -73 fpm, both of which were considered excellent. The total landing distance of 1,970 ft represented 32% of the available runway length, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good, albeit with a slight misalignment of 38 ft from the centreline during the rollout.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in approximately 2 minutes. The total flight distance of 49 nm was completed in 28 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 27 lbs. The flight's performance was influenced by the local weather conditions, which remained relatively consistent throughout, with a temperature of 59 °F and a moderate wind of 10 kt from 11 ° at the time of landing.
The aircraft touched down on runway 13R at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport with a threshold height of 63 ft agl, exceeding the target height. The threshold speed of 53 kt was slightly below the target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 1,498 ft was good, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown speed of 45 kt was also good, and the touchdown rate of -73 fpm was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft tracking the centreline closely. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59 °F and a wind of 10 kt at 11 °, presented a moderate crosswind component of 8 kt and a tailwind component of 6 kt. The pilot successfully managed these conditions to achieve a good touchdown. The total landing distance of 1,970 ft, which accounted for 32% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
The rollout phase was slightly marred by a misalignment of 38 ft from the centreline, but overall, the landing was well-executed. The score of 87.7% reflects a high level of proficiency and control, with only minor deviations from the ideal performance. The pilot demonstrated a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and the wind conditions, and was able to adapt to the situation to achieve a safe and controlled landing.
