Hold the approach angle
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: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,177 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,177 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 49 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 28 at N94 Carlisle, a small airfield in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, United States. The Cessna 208B aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 337 meters, which accounted for 29% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 79 knots, marking the beginning of the takeoff phase.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. The aircraft's climb performance was impressive, with a vertical ascent of 928 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a horizontal distance of 4 nautical miles. The climb started from an altitude of 1,503 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 2,430 feet.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting from an altitude of 2,434 feet above sea level. The descent was initiated overhead Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania, and the aircraft descended to an altitude of 1,120 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,314 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a horizontal distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the airfield for the final time, it was heading east, on a bearing of 272.0 degrees, at an altitude of 603 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. The aircraft maintained a steady approach, with a smooth touchdown rate of -130 feet per minute.
The landing was executed perfectly, with a touchdown speed of 43 knots and a touchdown distance of 47 meters, which was well within the acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating a high degree of precision in the pilot's landing technique. The total landing distance was 188 meters, accounting for just 16% of the runway length.
Following the landing, the aircraft rolled out of the runway, maintaining perfect alignment and control. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. The aircraft consumed a total of 19 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed with precision and control, demonstrating the capabilities of the Cessna 208B aircraft and the skills of the pilot.
The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at N94 Carlisle, achieving a score of 94.9%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 272.0° at 1 nautical mile and 603 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good altitude and alignment throughout the approach, setting it up for a smooth touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a distance of 47 meters, which was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 43 knots was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and avoided stalling the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -130 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilot had made a gentle touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained the correct heading and alignment with the runway. This is a critical aspect of landing, as it ensures that the aircraft is properly aligned with the runway and can be safely brought to a stop.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind of 1 knot, which did not pose any significant challenges for the pilot.
The total landing distance of 188 meters was only 16% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had made a very efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing and had brought it to a safe stop.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and judgment throughout the approach and landing. The aircraft was brought to a safe stop, and the pilot had maintained a high level of situational awareness and control.
