See Arrival Final 2
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: off the centreline.
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.
Touched down 538 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Kodiak 100, then departed from runway 02 at Antrim County Airport (KACB), with a takeoff distance of 264 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 74 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and a 4-knot wind at 290°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was negligible. The enroute climb started overhead KACB, with the aircraft ascending from 1,040 feet above sea level to 3,650 feet, an increase of 2,610 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles northwest of Mancelona Municipal Airport (D90), and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 6 miles south of Lakes Of The North (4Y4), descending from 3,348 feet to 2,543 feet, a decrease of 805 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at Grayling Army Air Field (KGOV) was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 137.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,390 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 14, which had a length of 1,524 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 75 knots.
The touchdown point was 97 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 63 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -100 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also excellent. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 20°C temperature and a 4-knot wind at 180°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 820 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 29 nautical miles, taking 18 minutes, and the aircraft used 75 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question, a Kodiak 100, successfully landed at KGOV Grayling Army Air Field, achieving a score of 94.6%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 137.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,390 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 14, which has a length of 1,524 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 75 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been slightly aggressive in their approach.
The touchdown point was located 97 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 63 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate was smooth, however, at -100 feet per minute (fpm), which is a good indication of the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to align the aircraft with the runway centerline during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 180°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 3 knots, which is relatively light and should not have presented a significant challenge to the pilot.
The total landing distance was 820 meters, which is 54% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown effectively. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and control of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
