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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set.

The rest of the report
A Cessna C172 aircraft took off from runway 33 at FMNZ Ampampamena Airport in Ampampamena, Diana Region, Madagascar, with a takeoff distance of 390 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 60 knots and immediately began its ascent into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 22°C. The wind at the time was blowing at 4 knots from 139 degrees, which produced a tailwind of 4 knots.
Following a one-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft covered less than 1 nautical mile, the pilot initiated a climb from an altitude of 484 feet above sea level to 3,025 feet asl, a total increase of 2,541 feet, in just 5 minutes. This climb covered 8 nautical miles and represented the first significant leg of the flight.
Subsequent to the initial climb, the pilot leveled the aircraft for a 12-minute cruise, flying 8 miles south of FMNZ Ampampamena Airport. This level cruise covered 26 nautical miles, providing the pilot with the opportunity to adjust the aircraft's altitude, course and airspeed as needed. The aircraft then began a descent towards FMNN Fascene Airport Nosy Be, which is located in the same region. From 4,192 feet asl, the pilot guided the aircraft through a steep descent of 3,048 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached FMNN Fascene Airport, the pilot aligned the aircraft with the runway 23, flying from the north east at a heading of 218.0 degrees, located at 4 nautical miles from the airport and 1,117 feet above the ground level (agl). With the aircraft in the proper configuration, the pilot began the final approach to the runway and eventually landed at 52 knots, slightly below the target speed.
Upon landing, the aircraft traveled a distance of 304 meters and touched down at 43 knots, producing a very good touchdown rate of -196 fpm. However, the aircraft slightly deviated from the centerline, touching down 4.8 meters off-center. The aircraft's total landing distance of 836 meters, which constituted 38% of the runway length, and the satisfactory runway touchdown alignment are both testaments to the pilot's skill and expertise in handling the aircraft.
After landing, the pilot taxiied the aircraft to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. With the successful completion of the flight, the pilot reported that the total flight distance was 44 nautical miles and the aircraft had consumed a total of 15 kilograms of fuel.
The recent landing of the Cessna C172 at FMNN Fascene Airport was executed with a high level of proficiency, scoring 96.7%. The approach to the runway was initiated from the northeast at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,117 feet above ground level, aligning with the heading of 218.0°.
As the aircraft prepared to land on runway 23, a thorough examination of the surrounding conditions revealed a favorable environment. The runway stood at an impressive 2,195 meters in length, providing ample space for the plane to touch down safely. Furthermore, the threshold height was satisfactory, while the threshold speed was slightly below the target, clocking in at 52 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed admirably, with a measured touchdown distance of 304 meters and a speed of 43 knots. The touchdown rate was also commendable, standing at -196 feet per minute, a sign of excellent airmanship. Notably, the touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the runway centerline, deviating slightly to the right by approximately 4.8 meters.
Weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and negligible wind at 1 knot from 199 degrees. This resulted in an effectively neutral crosswind, while a gentle headwind of 1 knot aided the aircraft's descent.
The total landing distance measured 836 meters, accounting for 38% of the available runway length. This falls well within the acceptable parameters for such an operation. Most impressively, the aircraft's rollout alignment was outstanding, demonstrating exceptional control and coordination during the critical phase of the landing sequence. Overall, the proficiency of the pilot and the efficiency of the Cessna C172 were evident throughout the entire landing procedure, resulting in a successful and safe touchdown at FMNN Fascene Airport.
