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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up and centreline 14.8° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 8.4° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 249 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Pilatus PC-12 taxied from the parking area to runway 23L at KTYS McGhee Tyson Airport in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23L, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,026 m, representing 39 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 108 kt. Ambient conditions were 29 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 66°, a 2 kt crosswind component and a 6 kt tailwind.
The climb commenced 1 mile west of Alcoa, Tennessee, where the airplane rose from 1,684 ft asl to 2,552 ft asl, an increase of 868 ft achieved in 1 minute while covering 4 nm.
A level cruise segment began 1 mile south of Maryville, Tennessee, lasting 2 minutes and extending over 5 nm.
Descent operations started 2 miles west of Walland, Tennessee; altitude decreased from 2,305 ft asl to 1,670 ft asl, a loss of 635 ft in 2 minutes, and the aircraft traversed 3 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated overhead Walland, lasting 3 minutes and covering 6 nm.
The final approach to the runway, located 4 miles southeast of Walland, involved a descent from 1,278 ft agl to 39 ft agl in 131 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
During the approach to touchdown, the aircraft descended from 45 ft agl to ground level, a reduction of 45 ft accomplished in 5 seconds.
Touchdown occurred 4 miles southeast of Walland at a speed of 82 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 25 fpm and a ground roll of 248 m. Weather at the time was 26 °C, wind 4 kt from 355°, a 4 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
The landing rollout continued at the same site, with the aircraft at an altitude of 1,076 ft asl and covering a distance of 370 m before exiting the runway.
The aircraft taxied back to the parking area in less than 1 minute, traveling less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 27 nm, taking 12, and consumed 44 kg of fuel.
