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 2,554 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 349 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa, the Cessna 208B began its journey on runway 35, covering the initial 510 meters of the 2,554-meter runway before lifting off at a speed of 78 knots. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle 1-knot headwind from the west.
As the aircraft climbed out of Tirana, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 8,471 feet above sea level in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching a maximum rate of climb of 7,441 feet in the same time frame. Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 8,471 feet for 2 minutes as it traversed 4 nautical miles southwest of Klos, Albania. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude by 510 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The flight continued with multiple level cruise phases, including a 7-minute cruise at an altitude of 7,801 feet, covering 20 nautical miles south of Bulqize, Albania. The final descent phase began 6 miles east of Centar Zupa, Macedonia, with the aircraft reducing its altitude by 3,218 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a final approach phase, aligning itself with runway 19 at Ohrid St. Paul the Apostle Airport from the north. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 61 knots and a distance of 347 meters, well within the acceptable limits. The total landing distance was 536 meters, accounting for just 21% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing a total flight distance of 65 nautical miles and using 91 kilograms of fuel in the process.
The final approach to runway 19 at LWOH Ohrid St. Paul the Apostle Airport from the north was executed with a heading of 198.0° at 4 nm and 1,497 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 74 ft agl, which was well above the target. The threshold speed was good at 64 kt, indicating a well-controlled descent.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 347 m, and the touchdown speed was also good at 61 kt. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -427 fpm, which may have resulted in a slight jolt for the passengers. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively calm landing environment.
The total landing distance of 536 m, which accounted for 21% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 85.4%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate, the approach and rollout phases were well-executed, resulting in a safe and controlled landing.
