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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,817 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 385 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Kodiak 100, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Waupaca Municipal Airport (KPCZ). This process took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 31, with a takeoff distance of 215 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 74 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the Waupaca Municipal Airport. The climb took 11 minutes to reach an altitude of 11,011 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,782 feet from the initial altitude of 1,228 feet. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 28 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 6 miles east of the Schewe Airport (WI52). This cruise lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 2 miles west of Krakow. The descent took 10 minutes to reach an altitude of 2,602 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,406 feet from the previous altitude of 11,008 feet. During this descent, the aircraft covered a distance of 26 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 2 miles northeast of the Sweetwater Bay Seaplane Base (30W). This cruise lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile southeast of Peshtigo. The descent took 2 minutes to reach an altitude of 1,713 feet above sea level, a decrease of 494 feet from the previous altitude of 2,207 feet. During this descent, the aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at Menominee–Marinette Twin County Airport (KMNM) was made from the southwest, with a heading of 28.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,097 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 383 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 66 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -95 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,239 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 77 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 36 minutes. The aircraft used 85 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a Kodiak 100, successfully landed at KMNM Menominee–Marinette Twin County Airport, achieving a score of 94.3%. The final approach to runway 03 was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 28.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,097 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 66 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 383 meters was deemed good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold height was also reported as good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway.
The touchdown rate of -95 feet per minute was an excellent indicator of the aircraft's control and stability during the landing. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in guiding the aircraft onto the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, which did not appear to have any significant impact on the aircraft's performance. The total landing distance of 1,239 meters was 68% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled and stable during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating excellent control and stability throughout the landing process.
