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.
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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 4.9° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,110 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,110 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 314 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 208B taxied from the parking area to runway 19R at Bethel Airport, a movement that required 14 minutes and covered 2 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 19R, achieving a takeoff distance of 711 m, representing 37 % of the runway, and lifted off at 73 kt. Ambient temperature was 2 °C, wind 6 kt at 20 °, with a 5 kt tailwind component and no crosswind.
Climb began 1 mile south of Bethel, climbing from 1,057 ft asl to 1,974 ft asl, a gain of 916 ft in 1 minute while covering 2 nm.
The first level cruise segment started 3 miles north of Napakiak and continued for 38 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 112 nm.
Descent commenced 15 miles southwest of Tununak, descending from 2,185 ft asl to 1,695 ft asl, a loss of 489 ft in 2 minutes over 5 nm.
A subsequent cruise leg began 12 miles east of Mekoryuk Airport, lasting 5 minutes and encompassing 14 nm.
The next descent started 1 mile northwest of Mekoryuk, dropping from 1,386 ft asl to 931 ft asl, a decrease of 454 ft in 2 minutes across 3 nm.
A brief cruise followed, originating 2 miles northwest of Mekoryuk, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nm.
Final approach to runway 06 at Mekoryuk Airport involved a descent from 749 ft agl to 182 ft agl in 103 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 06, which is 1,110 m long, the aircraft touched down at a threshold speed of 77 kt, with a touchdown distance of 312 m and a touchdown speed of 64 kt. The vertical speed at touchdown was minus 172 fpm and the touchdown point was offset 6.8 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 8 °C with wind 21 kt at 89 °, including a 9 kt crosswind and a 20 kt headwind. Total landing distance measured 427 m, representing 39 % of the runway, and the subsequent rollout alignment was judged very good.
The aircraft completed the runway rollout without deviation, confirming the alignment was very good.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 146 nm, required 58 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 169 kg of fuel.
The Cessna 208B completed the final approach to runway 06 at PAMY Mekoryuk Airport, descending from 749 ft agl to 182 ft agl in 103 seconds and receiving a score on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was well above target at 77 kt.
Touchdown occurred 312 m down the runway, with a good touchdown speed of 64 kt and a good touchdown rate of minus 172 fpm; the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 6.8 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 427 m, representing 39 % of the 1 110 m runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
To tighten performance, aim to achieve the target threshold speed rather than the observed 77 kt and refine lateral control to reduce the 6.8 m centreline offset.
