Keep the speed up 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.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 288 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna 208B, then departed from runway 16R at Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (LIRF). The takeoff distance was 581 meters, which is 15% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 80 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, and a crosswind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 684 feet above sea level (asl) to 6,271 ft asl, an increase of 5,587 feet in 6 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. The climb started overhead Fiumicino, and the aircraft then entered a level cruise phase 13 miles southwest of Torvaianica, lasting 11 minutes and covering 31 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase 1 mile southwest of Ciampino, increasing its altitude from 6,757 ft asl to 10,720 ft asl, a gain of 3,963 feet in 5 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a descent phase 1 mile southeast of Guidonia Montecelio, descending from 10,744 ft asl to 6,964 ft asl, a decrease of 3,780 feet in 3 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase overhead Percile, lasting 14 minutes and covering 42 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent phase 3 miles southwest of Farindola, descending from 7,148 ft asl to 6,573 ft asl, a decrease of 575 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase 2 miles northeast of Farindola, lasting 12 minutes and covering 35 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent phase 16 miles northeast of Silvi, descending from 5,456 ft asl to 4,072 ft asl, a decrease of 1,384 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase 11 miles northeast of Montesilvano Marina, lasting 3 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent phase 1 mile northeast of Pescara, descending from 3,997 ft asl to 2,139 ft asl, a decrease of 1,858 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase 2 miles north of Francavilla al Mare, lasting 6 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22 at Abruzzo Airport (LIBP) was made from the northeast, with a heading of 217.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,238 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing on runway 22 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 287 meters, which is good. The touchdown speed was 62 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -363 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, and a crosswind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 482 meters, which is 23% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing process from the runway
The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at LIBP Abruzzo Airport, achieving a score of 94.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 217.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,238 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for a smooth landing on runway 22, which has a length of 2,130 meters.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was well within the acceptable range at 66 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 287 meters, and the touchdown speed of 62 knots was within the desired parameters. However, the touchdown rate was firm at -363 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly steeper descent than intended.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.3 meters, which may require some adjustments in the approach or landing technique to achieve a more precise touchdown. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance of 482 meters was only 23% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with the only areas for improvement being the slightly above-target threshold height and the misaligned touchdown position.
