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 that landed joined below the 1,000 ft and 500 ft gates, after a go-around. The gate assessed on the earlier approach is not shown - it was not the landing's.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 5,000 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 322 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from Almeirim Airport in Para, Brazil, began with a smooth roll down runway 06, where the aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 55 kt in a distance of 786 ft, representing 17% of the available runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 79 °F and a gentle headwind of 3 kt.
As the aircraft transitioned to enroute level cruise, it briefly leveled off overhead the airport, covering a distance of 2 nm in 1 minute. The initial climb phase commenced 1 mile west of the airport, where the aircraft ascended from 730 ft to 2,524 ft in 3 minutes, covering 4 nm. This was followed by a descent phase, where the aircraft descended from 2,460 ft to 459 ft in 3 minutes, covering 5 nm. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 2 nm. However, the flight was not without its challenges, as the crew initiated a go-around at 661 ft agl, followed by two further go-arounds at 1,032 ft agl and 88 ft agl. Ultimately, the aircraft successfully landed 14 miles west of the airport, touching down at a speed of 40 kt and a touchdown rate of -611 fpm. The touchdown distance was 174 ft, and the landing rollout distance was 205 ft.
The local weather conditions remained consistent throughout the flight, with a temperature of 79 °F and a gentle tailwind of 3 kt. The total flight distance was 19 nm, and the aircraft used 5 lbs of fuel. The flight duration was 16 minutes, during which the crew demonstrated their proficiency in navigating the aircraft through various phases of flight, including takeoff, climb, descent, and landing.
The final approach to landing ground 14 miles west of Almeirim (Para, Brazil) was executed with a satisfactory quality, with the aircraft maintaining a steady descent from 1,038 feet above ground level (agl) to 1 nm at 1 nm. The approach was characterized by a gentle rate of descent, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown speed of 40 knots was within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed flare. However, the touchdown rate of -611 feet per minute (fpm) was heavier than desired, suggesting a slightly aggressive approach. The touchdown distance of 174 feet was good, indicating a well-controlled landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 79°F and a 3-knot tailwind, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
During the landing rollout, the aircraft maintained a stable altitude of 30 feet above sea level (asl) and covered a distance of 205 feet. The centreline alignment was satisfactory, with the aircraft tracking the runway centreline throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 79.2%, reflecting a good performance in terms of touchdown speed and distance, but a heavier-than-desired touchdown rate.
