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: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.

The 115 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Stewart Airport (CZST) in British Columbia, Canada, the Black Square Caravan Professional Cargo Pod N95EJ began its takeoff roll on runway 36. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 89 kt, achieving lift-off in a distance of 643 m, which accounted for 54% of the available runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of -0 °C and a gentle headwind of 4 kt.
As the aircraft transitioned to the enroute phase, it began a climb from 260 ft above sea level to 578 ft, a gain of 318 ft in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nm. This initial climb was followed by a brief level cruise 1 mile north of Stewart, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nm. The aircraft then resumed climbing, this time from 1,001 ft to 7,841 ft, a significant increase of 6,841 ft in 7 minutes, while covering 13 nm. The climb was punctuated by a 41-minute level cruise 12 miles north of Stewart, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 115 nm. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began a descent from 8,007 ft to 1,422 ft, a decrease of 6,585 ft in 14 minutes, while covering 41 nm. The final approach to runway 11 at Kake Airport (PAFE) was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 132.0° at 2 nm and 995 ft above ground level.
The Black Square Caravan Professional Cargo Pod N95EJ touched down on runway 11 at PAFE Kake Airport, with a touchdown distance of 113 m, which was well within the available runway length of 917 m. The touchdown speed of 66 kt was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -178 fpm was within acceptable limits. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 m from the centreline, the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 313 m accounted for 34% of the available runway length. The aircraft used a total of 231 kg of fuel to complete the 184 nm flight, which lasted 71 minutes.
The final approach to runway 11 at PAFE Kake Airport from the north west was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 132.0° at 2 nm and 995 ft above ground level. The threshold height was satisfactory, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target, coming in at 70 kt.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 113 m, and the touchdown speed of 66 kt was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -178 fpm was also satisfactory, indicating a controlled descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.9 m, which may require attention during future approaches. Local weather conditions were calm, with a temperature of 3 °C and a wind speed of 0 kt at 270°.
The total landing distance of 313 m was 34% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating a high level of control and precision during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was scored 92.0%, reflecting a good performance with some minor areas for improvement.
