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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,372 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,372 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 131 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Cessna 208B began with a departure from runway 30YDMG Doomadgee. The takeoff distance was 1,191 ft, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 84 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 60 °F with a light wind of 1 kn coming from 269 °, resulting in a crosswind of 1 kn and a headwind of 1 kn.
The enroute climb commenced 2 miles northwest of Doomadgee in the State of Queensland, Australia. The aircraft climbed from 896 ft asl to 3,738 ft asl, gaining 2,841 ft in altitude in 4 minutes over a distance of 9 nm, ending 7 miles east of Doomadgee.
The enroute level cruise phase began 7 miles east of Doomadgee and continued for 38 nm in 14 minutes, ending 7 miles north of Burketown.
The enroute descent phase started 8 miles north of Burketown, where the aircraft descended from 3,989 ft asl to 1,806 ft asl, losing 2,183 ft in altitude in 2 minutes over a distance of 5 nm, finishing 9 miles northeast of Burketown.
The landing took place on runway 21 at YBKT Burketown, which has a runway length of 4,501 ft. The height at the threshold was 28 ft above ground level, and the speed at the threshold was 63 kn. The touchdown occurred 425 ft from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 62 kn and a vertical speed indicator reading of -401 ft/min. The local weather at the time of landing was similar to departure, with a temperature of 60 °F and a light wind coming from 270 ° at 1 kn, resulting in a 1 kn crosswind and 1 kn headwind.
The total flight distance covered was 64 nm over a duration of 35 minutes, during which the aircraft consumed 231 lbs of fuel.
Great job on achieving a landing score of 96.4%! Let's break down your performance phase by phase to see where you excelled and where there's room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, you did an excellent job of aligning with the glideslope, which is crucial for a smooth and safe landing. Your speed was slightly below target, but this can easily be adjusted with more practice and attention to detail.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you maintained a good threshold height and executed a solid landing flare. These are key components of a successful landing, so kudos to you for mastering these aspects.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was noted as very hard. While it's great that your speed was on target and you managed to touch down within the touchdown zone, excessive impact during touchdown can put unnecessary stress on the aircraft and its components. Consider practicing softer landings to improve this aspect of your performance.
It's also worth noting that your touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone and runway touchdown position were both impressive, with only a 5-foot deviation from the centerline. This level of precision showcases your ability to maintain accuracy during the critical moments of landing.
Overall, your score reflects a high level of proficiency and skill in various aspects of the landing process. By continuing to focus on areas for improvement and honing your technique, you're well on your way to mastering smooth and successful landings. Keep up the hard work and dedication to refining your skills, and you'll no doubt continue to see improvement in your performance. Great job!
