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 948 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 948 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 588 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 04 at MGLL La Libertad Airport, a Beechcraft King Air 350 aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance was 538 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 114 knots, a smooth and efficient start to the flight.
As the aircraft climbed out of La Libertad, it encountered local weather conditions of 35 degrees Celsius and a wind of 7 knots at 83 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of La Libertad and took the aircraft from 1,119 feet above sea level to 9,296 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,176 feet in just 6 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 19 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft leveled off and began its enroute level cruise 5 miles southeast of Sayaxche. This phase of the flight lasted 13 minutes and covered a distance of 52 nautical miles. The descent from cruising altitude began 6 miles north of San Pedro Carcha, where the aircraft descended from 9,184 feet above sea level to 5,895 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,288 feet in just 4 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at MGCB Coban Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 16.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,542 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 03 was made with a runway length of 948 meters, and the threshold height was good. However, the threshold speed was too high at 126 knots, resulting in a touchdown point that was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed of 114 knots was also fast, but the touchdown rate was fair at -252 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at Coban Airport were 26 degrees Celsius and a wind of 10 knots at 19 degrees.
The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 811 meters, which accounted for 86% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 84 nautical miles, taking 24 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 143 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft King Air 350 aircraft successfully landed at MGCB Coban Airport, but there were some areas for improvement. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 16.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,542 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 03, which has a length of 948 meters.
The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 126 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway, which suggests that the pilot may have been able to extend the flare to touch down closer to the threshold.
The touchdown speed of 114 knots was also fast, and the touchdown rate of -252 feet per minute was fair. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained good control of the aircraft during the landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a headwind of 10 knots at 19°.
The total landing distance of 811 meters was 86% of the runway length, which is a relatively long distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained good control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, while there were some areas for improvement, the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the landing.
