AGL Stability Threshold 
Pilot Institute
MARCH 26, 2024
As with any landing, it’s vital to have a stabilized approach. If you’re not stabilized at 200 feet AGL, go around. On a normal landing, you’d pull the power over the threshold, begin your roundout, and flare around 10 feet AGL. When crossing the threshold, start reducing the power.

If it prevents you from landing close to the threshold, a short runway becomes even shorter. x V SO (or POH recommendation) by around 500 feet AGL. This gives you a safe buffer on the stall speed and plenty of time to stabilize. The aiming point at an actual short field should be as close to the threshold as is safe.
