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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 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 300 ft gate: centreline 8.7° off, against a 1° limit and wings 32° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 699 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 699 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 65 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 0.24 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Goodwood Aerodrome (EGHR), the Kodiak 100 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 14, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 76 kt in a distance of 426 m, which accounted for 44% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft climbed away from the aerodrome, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, ascending from an initial altitude of 348 ft above sea level to 275 ft asl, a net increase of 73 ft over a period of 1 minute and a distance of 1 nm. The climb was initiated overhead Westhampnett, marking the beginning of the aircraft's journey. Following the climb, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 28 at EGHR, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 277.0° and an altitude of 164 ft above ground level.
Upon touchdown on runway 28, the aircraft demonstrated a satisfactory performance, with a touchdown speed of 58 kt and a touchdown distance of 63 m, which accounted for 30% of the available runway length. The touchdown rate of -250 fpm was slightly below the target, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 210 m, and the aircraft utilized 4 kg of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 2 nm and lasted for 2 minutes.
The final approach to runway 28 at EGHR Goodwood Aerodrome from the east was executed with a heading of 277.0° at 0 nm and 164 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 61 kt. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down at a distance of 63 m, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 58 kt was also good, indicating a well-controlled approach.
However, the touchdown rate of -250 fpm was only fair, suggesting a slightly higher than ideal rate of descent. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.7 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. Despite this, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a light headwind of 1 kt, were favourable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 210 m, which accounted for 30% of the runway length, was acceptable. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration after touchdown. Overall, the landing was scored 92.7%, reflecting a good performance with some minor areas for improvement.
