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 1,808 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,808 m of the 2,802 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 284 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Ohrid St. Paul the Apostle Airport, rolling down runway 19 with a takeoff distance of 493 meters, representing 19% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 79 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Ohrid, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southeast of Mislesevo, rising from an initial altitude of 2,962 feet above sea level to 10,994 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a brief level cruise 2 miles southwest of Slivnica, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its descent over Dolno Dupeni, decreasing its altitude from 10,998 feet to 7,093 feet in 3 minutes, while covering 10 nautical miles. This pattern of climb, cruise, and descent was repeated several times, with the aircraft maintaining a steady pace and adhering to its planned route.
The final approach to runway 30 at Kastoria National Airport was initiated from the southeast, with the aircraft descending from 5,693 feet to 4,224 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off for a brief period before commencing its final descent. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 62 knots and a distance of 281 meters, representing 61% of the runway's length. The touchdown rate was firm at -367 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline. The aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile, and the total flight distance was 93 nautical miles, consuming 127 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna 208B touched down on runway 30 at LGKA Kastoria National Airport Aristotle with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft maintained a steady heading of 292.0° from a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,164 feet above ground level, ultimately aligning itself with the runway for a smooth touchdown.
The threshold height was well-managed, and the threshold speed of 65 kt was achieved as expected. The touchdown distance of 281 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 62 kt was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate of -367 fpm was slightly firmer than desired, indicating a slightly steeper descent than intended. The aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the approach path.
The total landing distance of 1,707 meters was 61% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 94.7% reflecting the minor deviations in touchdown position and touchdown rate. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a light headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
