Track the centreline
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.

One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.6° off, against a 1° limit and wings 12° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 995 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 995 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 129 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 208B taxied from the parking area to runway 01L at PABE Bethel Airport, a movement that lasted 14 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 01L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 73 kt and became airborne after a takeoff distance of 369 m, representing 19 % of the runway. Local conditions were a temperature of 4 °C, wind 20 kt from 330°, a cross-wind component of 16 kt and a head-wind component of 12 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile west of Bethel, with the airplane ascending from 1,130 ft asl to 2,505 ft asl, a gain of 1,375 ft achieved in 2 minutes while covering 3 nm.
The first level cruise began 2 miles north-west of Bethel and continued for 8 minutes, during which 19 nm were flown.
Descent started overhead Kasigluk, where the aircraft reduced altitude from 2,528 ft asl to 2,058 ft asl, a loss of 469 ft in 2 minutes while traversing 4 nm.
A second level cruise was initiated 3 miles north-west of Kasigluk and persisted for 50 minutes, covering 115 nm.
Final approach to runway 31 at PAHP Hooper Bay Airport involved a descent from 724 ft agl to 9 ft agl in 110 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 31, which is 995 m long, was executed with a threshold speed slightly above target at 70 kt. Touchdown occurred 128 m down the runway at 64 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 121 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.9 m from the centreline. Weather at the destination was a temperature of 4 °C, wind 21 kt from 350°, a cross-wind component of 8 kt and a head-wind component of 19 kt. The total landing distance measured 394 m, equivalent to 40 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
The aircraft rolled out along runway 31 with perfect alignment.
In total, the flight covered 147 nm, required 73 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 213 kg of fuel.
The Cessna 208B approached runway 31 at PAHP Hooper Bay Airport descending from 724 ft AGL to 9 ft AGL over 110 seconds and earned a score on the stabilisation gates. Ambient temperature was 4 °C with wind 21 kt from 350°, including an 8 kt cross-component and a 19 kt headwind.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 70 kt.
Touchdown occurred 128 m down the runway; the aircraft touched down at 64 kt, which was a little fast, and the vertical rate was smooth at minus 121 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 3.9 m from the centreline.
Rollout used a total of 394 m, representing 40 % of the 995 m runway, and the aircraft remained perfectly aligned throughout the rollout.
The overall score of 91.5 % reflects solid performance; reducing touchdown speed to the target value will further improve energy management, and tightening the lateral alignment to within a metre of the centreline will enhance precision on future landings.
