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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,889 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 370 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was conducted in an OV-10 Bronco aircraft, departing from runway 21 at CYDA Dawson City Airport in Dawson City, Yukon, Canada. The takeoff roll was 368 meters long, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 90 knots, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind of 3 knots at 270 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was also 2 knots.
After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead CYDA Dawson City Airport. It climbed from 1,671 feet above sea level to 1,737 feet, an increase of 66 feet, in less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles, before beginning another climb. This climb took the aircraft from 1,996 feet to 5,294 feet, an increase of 3,297 feet, in 5 minutes and covering 18 nautical miles.
The flight continued with multiple enroute climbs and level cruises, with the aircraft reaching altitudes of up to 7,212 feet. The aircraft also began several descents, including one from 8,080 feet to 5,965 feet, a decrease of 2,115 feet, in 5 minutes and covering 21 nautical miles. Another descent took the aircraft from 6,701 feet to 5,920 feet, a decrease of 781 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at CEX4 Carmacks Airport was conducted from the west, with the aircraft heading 104.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,646 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 90 knots and a distance of 369 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -303 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 3 knots at 270 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 744 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 165 nautical miles, taking 45 minutes, and the aircraft used 265 kilograms of fuel.
The OV-10 Bronco aircraft successfully landed at CEX4 Carmacks Airport, achieving a score of 92.3%. The final approach to runway 10 was initiated from the west, heading 104.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,646 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, which has a length of 1,889 meters.
The threshold height at 64 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed of 96 knots was only slightly above the target, suggesting that the aircraft was not excessively fast when reaching the threshold. The touchdown distance of 369 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 90 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate of -303 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating that the aircraft touched down with a moderate amount of force. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 3 knots from 270°, and a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 744 meters was 39% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the aircraft may have drifted slightly off the centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases.
