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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,801 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 733 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Beechcraft V35B departed ZBAA Beijing Capital International Airport from runway 18L, accelerating over a takeoff distance of 2,814 m (74 % of the runway) and achieving liftoff at 74 kt. Ambient conditions were 30 °C with calm wind (0 kt from 090°) and no cross- or head-wind component.
Climb commenced one mile south of the airport, where the aircraft rose from 515 ft asl to 2,311 ft asl, a gain of 1,796 ft achieved in four minutes while covering nine nautical miles.
The first cruise segment began four miles north-east of Beijing, lasting three minutes and extending the flight by eight nautical miles at level altitude.
Descent started two miles south-west of Beijing, with altitude decreasing from 2,076 ft asl to 1,606 ft asl, a loss of 470 ft in two minutes over a distance of four nautical miles.
A second level cruise was initiated one mile north-west of Beijing, persisting for three minutes and adding another eight nautical miles to the route.
The next climb began six miles north of Beijing, raising the aircraft from 1,742 ft asl to 3,810 ft asl, an increase of 2,068 ft in three minutes while traversing eight nautical miles.
A brief cruise followed five miles east of Beijing, lasting two minutes and covering five nautical miles at constant altitude.
Descent resumed seven miles north-west of Tongzhou, dropping from 3,429 ft asl to 850 ft asl, a reduction of 2,579 ft in two minutes across six nautical miles.
Final approach to runway 36R at ZBAA was conducted from the south, on a heading of 355.0° at one nautical mile and 741 ft agl.
Landing on runway 36R, which is 3,801 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 93 ft agl and a threshold speed of 90 kt, both noted as above target. Touchdown was recorded 332 m beyond the touchdown zone at 78 kt, with a firm vertical speed of minus 330 fpm and a lateral offset of 5.7 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 29 °C, wind 1 kt from 146°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
The aircraft rolled out a total landing distance of 1,441 m (38 % of the runway) and the rollout alignment was measured 12.3 m off the centreline before exiting the runway.
Taxi-in to the parking area required two minutes and covered less than one nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered 50 nm, required 23 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 15 kg of fuel.
Beechcraft V35B approached runway 36R at ZBAA from the south on a final approach heading 355.0° at one nautical mile and 741 ft agl. Local conditions were a temperature of 29 °C, wind 1 kt from 146°, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
At the threshold the aircraft was 93 ft agl, a height significantly above target, and the threshold speed was well above target at 90 kt.
Touchdown occurred 332 m beyond the touchdown zone; the speed at touchdown was 78 kt, described as fast, and the rate was firm at minus 330 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 5.7 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance measured 1,441 m, representing 38 % of the runway length, and rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.3 m from the centreline.
Reduce the threshold height and speed to bring them within target values, and aim to achieve touchdown within the designated zone to limit rollout distance and improve alignment. These adjustments will help raise the 74.4 % score toward a higher performance level.
