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.

Side view — the last 664 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 664 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 87 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (ELLX), the Kodiak 100 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 06, utilizing 876 meters, or 22% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 95 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 5°C, with a gentle headwind of 3 knots and a crosswind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Luxembourg, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, reaching an altitude of 9,004 feet above sea level (asl) after ascending 6,796 feet in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The climb phase concluded overhead Senningen, Luxembourg, marking the beginning of the enroute level cruise phase. This phase lasted for 35 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 98 nautical miles, maintaining a steady altitude of 9,004 feet asl. The enroute descent phase commenced 2 miles northeast of Eisingen, Germany, where the aircraft began its descent from 9,007 feet asl to 2,615 feet asl, a decrease of 6,392 feet in 6 minutes and covering 19 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at Pattonville Airfield (EDTQ) was initiated from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 104.0° at an altitude of 1,662 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed successfully, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 61 knots and a touchdown distance of 84 meters. The total landing distance was 528 meters, accounting for 80% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 134 nautical miles, with a flight time of 55 minutes and a fuel consumption of 137 kilograms.
The approach to runway 10 at EDTQ Pattonville Airfield from the west was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 104.0° at 4 nm and 1,662 ft above ground level. The threshold height was satisfactory, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase. The threshold speed of 65 kt was achieved, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft displayed good characteristics, with a touchdown speed of 61 kt and a distance of 84 m. However, the touchdown rate of -263 fpm was slightly below the optimal range, resulting in a fair assessment. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the final stages of the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 2 °C and a wind speed of 0 kt, contributed to a relatively calm environment.
The total landing distance of 528 m, which accounted for 80% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of control and precision during the final stages of the landing. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of proficiency, earning a score of 91.2%.
