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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 952 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 952 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 82 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 34 at CYFB Iqaluit Airport, with a takeoff distance of 705 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 95 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -14°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 349°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of CYFB Iqaluit Airport. The climb took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 27 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,061 feet above sea level to 15,701 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,639 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 27 miles northeast of Iqaluit and lasted for 136 minutes, covering a distance of 508 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 34 miles southwest of Ikerasak, Avannaata, Greenland, and took 14 minutes to descend from 15,712 feet above sea level to 2,662 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,051 feet. The descent covered a distance of 44 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northeast of Uummannaq, Avannaata, Greenland, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33 at BGUQ Qaarsut Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 299.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,547 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 80 meters, which was good, and a touchdown speed of 86 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was perfect at 32 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -16°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 321°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 361 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 595 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 175 minutes. The aircraft used 342 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a M500, successfully landed at BGUQ Qaarsut Airport, navigating a final approach to runway 33 from the south east. The aircraft's altitude at 3 nautical miles from the runway was 1,547 feet above ground level, and it was heading in the direction of 299.0°. The pilot executed a precise landing, achieving a threshold height that was deemed satisfactory.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 86 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 87 knots. However, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 80 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent.
One notable aspect of this landing was the aircraft's touchdown rate, which was a perfect 32 feet per minute. This indicates that the pilot was able to smoothly and gradually bring the aircraft down to the runway, minimizing the impact on the landing gear and reducing the risk of damage. Additionally, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain a steady course and avoid any deviations from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -16°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 321°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 361 meters was 38% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance capabilities.
