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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,794 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 554 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a 14-minute process that covered 2 nautical miles. After taking off from runway 36 at Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, the aircraft, a Beechcraft King Air 350, lifted off at a speed of 133 knots and a takeoff distance of 866 meters, which was 52% of the runway length.
As the aircraft climbed to a cruising altitude of 28,464 feet, the enroute climb started overhead Aix-les-Bains Bourget Lake, with an increase in altitude of 26,679 feet in 23 minutes. The flight then entered a level cruise for 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles, before initiating another climb from 28,582 feet to 29,946 feet in 3 minutes. This was followed by an extended period of level cruise, lasting 75 minutes and covering 252 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent.
The first descent started 43 miles north west of Port de Soller in Spain, where the aircraft descended from 30,624 feet to 20,939 feet in 12 minutes. Another short level cruise ensued, lasting 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The second descent then began, bringing the aircraft down from 20,939 feet to 3,103 feet in 14 minutes. A further level cruise started 8 miles east of Sant Carles de Peralta, lasting 16 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated a final descent, descending from 3,157 feet to 2,275 feet in 2 minutes.
Throughout the flight, the pilot followed an eastward course until reaching LEIB Ibiza Airport in Spain, where a final approach was made from the north east on runway 24. The aircraft touched down 226 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 102 knots, although the touchdown speed was considered a little fast. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -130 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
After landing, the Beechcraft King Air 350 taxied to the parking area, a 3-minute process covering less than 1 nautical mile. The flight distance was 462 nautical miles, completed in 127 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 640 kilograms of fuel. Overall, the flight appeared to be smooth and efficient, with good runway alignment throughout the landing process. The local weather conditions, with temperatures in the mid-20s and moderate wind speeds, posed no unusual challenges for the pilot.
On a recent landing at Ibiza Airport (LEIB), a Beechcraft King Air 350 aircraft successfully touched down on runway 24, exhibiting good control and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to the runway was initiated from a northeasterly direction, heading 244.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,577 feet above ground level.
Upon initiation of the landing, the aircraft was traveling at a speed of 112 knots, exceeding the targeted threshold speed. This suggests that the pilot had sufficient control to manage the descent and maintain the aircraft's velocity, contributing to a smooth and stable touchdown. The touchdown point was located 226 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is within an acceptable margin, considering the runway's length of 2,794 meters.
At the point of touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 102 knots, which, although within the operational limits, was slightly above the optimal landing speed range. However, the rate of descent of -130 feet per minute was deemed smooth, indicating well-coordinated control of the aircraft during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions had a moderate impact on the landing. The temperature was a relatively warm 28°C and the wind was blowing at 13 knots from a southeasterly direction (220°). This resulted in a 5-knot crosswind and a 12-knot headwind. Despite these factors, the pilot's handling of the aircraft ensured a high degree of accuracy during the landing process.
In conclusion, the aircraft's performance and the pilot's decision-making resulted in a highly successful landing on runway 24 at Ibiza Airport (LEIB). The landing distance of 891 meters, which corresponds to approximately 32% of the available runway length, suggests that there was sufficient remaining space for deceleration during the rollout phase. Throughout the process, the pilot exhibited a clear understanding of the operational parameters, contributing to a safe and effective landing.
