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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 5° glideslope and off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 5° glideslope and off the centreline.

Plan view — the full 948 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 41 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PC-12, then departed from runway 16 at EDWD Lemwerder Airport in Lemwerder, Germany. The takeoff distance was 383 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 96 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots at a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southeast of EDWD Lemwerder Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,034 feet above sea level to 27,509 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,475 feet, in 14 minutes and covering 34 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started over Dorum, Germany, and lasted for 117 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 489 nautical miles. The descent phase began 8 miles southwest of Sandane, Norway, and involved a decrease in altitude from 27,339 feet above sea level to 1,530 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,809 feet, in 12 minutes and covering 28 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb phase 1 mile west of ENOV Ørsta-Volda Airport, Hovden Ørsta, Norway, rising from an altitude of 1,538 feet above sea level to 6,889 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,351 feet, in 5 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles. The subsequent descent phase started 3 miles west of Volda, Norway, and involved a decrease in altitude from 6,835 feet above sea level to 1,090 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,745 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at ENOV Ørsta-Volda Airport, Hovden, was made from the southwest, heading 44.0 degrees at an altitude of 2 nautical miles and 829 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 38 meters, a touchdown speed of 79 knots, and a touchdown rate of -251 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -3 degrees Celsius.
The total landing distance was 301 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 561 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 157 minutes. The aircraft used 415 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question is a PC-12, which successfully landed at ENOV Ørsta-Volda Airport, Hovden. The final approach to runway 06 was executed from the southwest, with a heading of 44.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 829 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision, achieving a score of 98.8% for this critical phase of flight.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 81 knots, which is considered good for the threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 38 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and made a smooth transition from the approach to the landing. The touchdown speed of 79 knots was also satisfactory, suggesting that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively.
However, the touchdown rate of -251 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the pilot could have done a better job of controlling the descent rate. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -3°C, which may have presented some challenges for the pilot. Nevertheless, the pilot was able to navigate the aircraft safely to the ground, with a total landing distance of 301 meters, which is only 32% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had made a good assessment of the aircraft's speed and altitude.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and had brought it to a safe stop. Overall, this was a well-executed landing, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and precision.
