Keep the wings level on final
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 2,659 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 411 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Rogue Valley International Medford Airport (KMFR), runway 14, the aircraft began its takeoff roll and accelerated to liftoff speed of 109 kt in 1,232 meters, which was 46% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 18 °C and a calm wind at 240°. The aircraft lifted off and initiated its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile north of Medford and continued for 13 minutes, covering 38 nautical miles and reaching an altitude of 23,687 feet above sea level (asl). This climb phase saw an impressive increase of 21,355 feet in altitude.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 255 minutes and covered a distance of 1,113 nautical miles. This phase was initiated approximately 3 miles east of Riverview Ranch Airport (8OR3) and allowed the aircraft to maintain a steady altitude of 23,687 feet asl. The enroute cruise phase was followed by a descent phase, which started approximately 19 miles east of Carcross (Yukon, Canada) and lasted for 17 minutes, covering 63 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from 23,452 feet asl to 3,516 feet asl, a decrease of 19,937 feet in altitude.
The final approach to runway 14R at Whitehorse / Erik Nielsen International Airport (CYXY) was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 160.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,229 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 79 kt and a smooth touchdown rate of -137 feet per minute (fpm). The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 2,204 meters long, and the total landing distance was 632 meters, which was 29% of the available runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in less than 1 minute. The total flight distance was 1,220 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 949 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 292 minutes.
The final approach to runway 14R at CYXY Whitehorse / Erik Nielsen International Airport from the north was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 160.0° at 4 nm and 1,229 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and threshold speed of 84 kt, indicating a well-executed flare. The touchdown distance of 409 m was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 79 kt was also good, suggesting a smooth and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a smooth touchdown rate of -137 fpm, indicating a well-coordinated landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12 °C and a headwind of 9 kt, were not particularly challenging, but the crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt.
The rollout phase was also satisfactory, with the aircraft maintaining a relatively straight course down the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight correction in the direction of travel. Overall, the landing was executed well, with a score of 96.0% indicating a high level of proficiency. The total landing distance of 632 m was 29% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.
