Hold the glidepath
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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: glideslope 2.0° against the runway's 3°.

Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,835 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,553 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Frankfurt Airport, the aircraft began its taxiing sequence from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 18, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 57% of the 7,354-foot runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 169 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 100°F, with a gentle headwind of 3 knots at 155°.
As the aircraft climbed away from Frankfurt, it began its enroute climb phase, which started 2 miles west of Moerfelden-Walldorf. The aircraft successfully climbed from an initial altitude of 1,289 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 35,014 feet, an increase of 33,725 feet in just 18 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles. Following a 114-minute level cruise phase, which spanned 906 nautical miles, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent phase, starting 2 miles south of LG56 Olimpoi Aerodrome Chios. The descent from 34,999 feet to 1,236 feet took 23 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32 at LGKO Kos Airport was conducted from the southeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 326.0° at 4 nautical miles and 835 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed safely on the 7,835-foot runway, with a touchdown point 191 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 141 knots, and the touchdown rate was a perfect -37 feet per minute. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centerline, the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 4,678 feet, accounting for 60% of the runway length. Following a short taxiing sequence of 2 minutes and less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 1,172 nautical miles, utilizing 13,743 pounds of fuel in the process, and lasting a total of 172 minutes.
The final approach to runway 32 at LGKO Kos Airport from the south east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 326.0° at 4 nm and 835 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 152 kt. The aircraft touched down 191 ft beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 141 kt, with a touchdown rate of -37 fpm, which was perfect.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 ft from the centreline, but the rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and stability during the landing phase. The local weather conditions were favourable, with a temperature of 75 °F and a gentle wind of 5 kt at 310°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component of 2 kt and a significant headwind component of 5 kt.
The total landing distance of 4,678 ft was 60% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled landing. Overall, the landing performance was impressive, with a score of 98.1% reflecting the high level of skill and precision demonstrated by the pilot.
