Track the centreline
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 500 ft gate: centreline 1.9° off, against a 1° limit and speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 69 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,194 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 560 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 1.75 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from ZYCC Changchun Longjia International Airport, the Cessna 208B began its journey with a short taxiing period of less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then took off from runway 24, utilizing a takeoff distance of 660 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was achieved at 82 knots, with a local temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°.
During the enroute phase, the aircraft underwent several climbs and descents, with notable increases in altitude. The first significant climb started 2 miles southwest of the departure airport, reaching an altitude of 6,753 feet above sea level (asl) in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 24 minutes and covering 68 nautical miles. Subsequent climbs and descents were observed, with the final climb starting 11 miles north of ZLIY Liaoyang Airport, reaching an altitude of 6,011 feet asl in 2 minutes. The aircraft then began its descent, eventually landing on runway 06 at ZYTX Shenyang Taoxian International Airport.
The landing was notable for a touchdown point 100 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 53 knots and a touchdown rate of -552 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.4 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 41.6 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 950 meters, accounting for 30% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 4 minutes. The total flight distance was 267 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 105 minutes and a fuel consumption of 372 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 06 at ZYTX Shenyang Taoxian International Airport was initiated from the south west, heading 51.0° at 3 nm and 1,522 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height at 93 ft agl that was significantly above the target, indicating a slightly higher than desired rate of descent. The threshold speed of 62 kt was slightly below the target, suggesting a slightly more aggressive approach than intended.
The aircraft touched down 100 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 53 kt that was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -552 fpm was very hard, indicating a high rate of descent at touchdown. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.4 m from the centreline, which could have contributed to the hard touchdown. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, were relatively calm, with minimal crosswind or tailwind.
The total landing distance of 950 m was 30% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 41.6 m from the centreline, suggesting a loss of directional control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 67.4%. While there were some areas for improvement, the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
