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.
Side view — the last 1,165 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,165 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 548 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Beechcraft King Air 350 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at MMMT Minatitlán/Coatzacoalcos International Airport, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 19, with a takeoff distance of 512 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 105 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 30°C temperature and winds of 5 knots at 30°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started overhead MMMT Minatitlán/Coatzacoalcos International Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 635 feet above sea level to 8,909 feet above sea level, a total increase of 8,273 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 5 miles north of Coatzacoalcos, Mexico, and lasted for 82 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 223 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 14 miles northeast of Frontera Corozal, Mexico, and involved a descent from 9,291 feet above sea level to 1,548 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,743 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at MGLL La Libertad Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 48.0° at 1 nautical mile and 921 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 04 was successful, with the touchdown point being 117 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 89 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -189 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 33°C temperature and winds of 7 knots at 74°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 750 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 274 nautical miles, taking a total of 79 minutes, and the aircraft used 503 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft King Air 350 successfully landed at MGLL La Libertad Airport, achieving a score of 92.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 48.0° at 1 nautical mile and 921 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down on runway 04, which has a length of 1,165 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 89 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -189 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 33°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots at 74°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The touchdown point was 117 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal location. However, the total landing distance of 750 meters, which accounts for 64% of the runway length, is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its direction and speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and touchdown phases. The score of 92.1% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot and crew.
