See Arrival Final 3
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,550 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 600 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Kodiak 100, then departed from runway 17 at KBAX Huron County Memorial Airport. The takeoff distance was 205 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 75 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 200 degrees. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. The aircraft took off and began its enroute climb, which started overhead KBAX Huron County Memorial Airport. The climb was from an altitude of 1,161 feet above sea level to 12,550 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,388 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 3 miles southeast of 3MI5 Innes Acres Airport Decker. This phase of the flight lasted 5 minutes and covered a distance of 19 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 4 miles northeast of Imlay City, where the aircraft descended from 12,554 feet above sea level to 2,130 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,424 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at KDET Coleman A. Young Municipal Airport was made from the northwest, heading 138.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,502 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 15, which had a length of 1,550 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 72 knots.
The touchdown point was 157 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 59 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -21 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 200 degrees. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 834 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.8 meters from the centerline. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 83 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 34 minutes. The aircraft used 79 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question is a Kodiak 100, which successfully landed at KDET Coleman A. Young Municipal Airport. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 138.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,502 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 72 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 157 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 59 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown rate of -21 feet per minute (fpm) was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.7 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to a slightly misaligned runway rollout alignment of 11.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 200°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. The total landing distance of 834 meters was 54% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out without any major issues. However, the misaligned touchdown and rollout positions may require further attention to ensure that the aircraft is properly aligned with the runway centerline.
