Settle the descent rate
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 513 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 513 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 52 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Kodiak 100 taxied to runway 19 at AYPB Paiela Airport and commenced the take-off roll, covering 329 m which represents 64 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 66 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind from 270° at 1 kt, providing a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind component.
Climb began directly overhead the airport, with the aircraft accelerating from 6 457 ft asl to 8 182 ft asl, an altitude gain of 1 725 ft in one minute while traversing three nautical miles.
Descent was initiated two miles west of the field, descending from 8 182 ft asl to 6 761 ft asl, a loss of 1 421 ft over two minutes and a distance of five nautical miles.
During the final approach to runway 01, the aircraft reduced altitude from 605 ft agl to -9 ft agl in 36 seconds and met the stabilisation gate criteria.
Touchdown on runway 01 occurred with a threshold speed of 58 kt, slightly below the target. The aircraft contacted the surface after 47 m of rollout at 54 kt and a vertical speed of minus 42 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 14.1 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 338 m, equivalent to 66 % of the 513 m runway.
Rollout continued with a slight centreline deviation of 12.8 m, after which the aircraft completed the landing phase.
In total, the flight covered 9 nm, required approximately 5 minutes, and consumed 11 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 01 at Paiela Airport descended from 605 ft AGL to -9 ft AGL in 36 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates, contributing to the overall score of 84.1 %.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, while the threshold speed was a little below the target at 58 kt.
Touchdown occurred 47 m down the runway at a speed of 54 kt and a vertical rate of minus 42 fpm, which met the criteria for a good touchdown. The touchdown point was misaligned by 14.1 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total distance of 338 m, representing 66 % of the 513-m runway, and the aircraft was slightly misaligned by 12.8 m from the centreline during this phase.
Focus on maintaining centreline alignment both at touchdown and through rollout, and adjust the approach to achieve the target threshold speed more precisely; these refinements will help convert the solid performance into an even higher score.
