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: 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.
At the 300 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,207 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 437 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KPRC Prescott International Airport - Ernest A. Love Field took 7 minutes, covering a distance of approximately 1 nautical mile. The Cessna 208B then began its departure roll on runway 03R, utilizing 418 meters, or 19% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 69 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 15°C, with a gentle headwind of 6 knots from a direction of 38°.
Following a brief enroute level cruise, which lasted 3 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles, the aircraft initiated an enroute climb from 5,699 feet above sea level to 6,332 feet, an increase of 633 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb phase was followed by another brief level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 03R from the southwest, descending to an altitude of 1,383 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at 536 feet agl, followed by a second go-around at 1,663 feet agl. The aircraft eventually landed on runway 03R, which featured a length of 2,207 meters. The touchdown distance was 436 meters, and the touchdown speed was 62 knots, both of which were considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -225 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 722 meters, or 33% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 5 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 29 nautical miles, and the flight utilized 49 kilograms of fuel. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 15°C, with a moderate headwind of 9 knots from a direction of 44°.
The aircraft touched down on runway 03R at KPRC Prescott International Airport - Ernest A. Love Field, with a slightly above-target threshold height of 56 ft agl. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a heading of 28.0° from the southwest at 2 nm and 1,383 ft agl. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 84 kt, indicating a need for adjustment in the approach configuration.
The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a touchdown speed of 62 kt and a touchdown distance of 436 m. The touchdown rate of -225 fpm was fair, suggesting a slight deviation from the ideal rate. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.3 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway rollout alignment of 9.6 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a 9 kt headwind, may have influenced the approach and landing.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 722 m, which accounted for 33% of the runway length. The score of 87.6% reflects a good overall performance, with some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of approach speed and touchdown alignment.
