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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 2.2° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,209 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,209 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 461 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 208B taxied from the parking area to runway 28 at PACM Scammon Bay Airport, a movement that required 9 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 28, the aircraft used 460 m of runway, representing 50 % of the available length, and lifted off at 73 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 4 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 220°, giving a cross-wind component of 5 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile north-west of Scammon Bay, where the airplane rose from 804 ft asl to 1,943 ft asl, an increase of 1,139 ft achieved in 2 minutes while covering 4 nm.
Level cruise began 1 mile north-east of PACM and continued for 45 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 123 nm.
Descent started 2 miles west of PABE Bethel Airport, with the aircraft descending from 1,984 ft asl to 862 ft asl, a loss of 1,122 ft in 2 minutes while covering 4 nm.
The final approach to runway 01R at PABE Bethel Airport involved a descent from 879 ft agl to 120 ft agl over 95 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 01R, which is 1,209 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 56 ft agl slightly above target and a threshold speed of 70 kt slightly above target. Touchdown was recorded at 460 m from the threshold, at a speed of 63 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 74 fpm and very good alignment. Local weather at the time was a temperature of 3 °C and a wind of 8 kt from 310°, providing a cross-wind component of 8 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
The total landing distance measured 703 m, representing 58 % of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered a total of 136 nm, took 59 minutes, and consumed 175 kg of fuel.
The Cessna 208B conducted its final approach to runway 01R at Bethel Airport (PABE) with a descent from 879 ft AGL to 120 ft AGL over 95 seconds, and the approach was scored on the stabilisation gates. Local conditions were 3 °C with a wind from 310° at 8 kt, comprising an 8 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
At the threshold the aircraft crossed at a height of 56 ft AGL, which was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 70 kt. The flare proceeded without noted deviation.
Touchdown occurred 460 m down the runway at a speed of 63 kt, both described as good, with a vertical rate of -74 fpm rated excellent and runway touchdown alignment very good. The total landing distance was 703 m, representing 58 % of the 1,209 m runway.
Rollout alignment was perfect throughout the remaining distance.
To tighten the approach, aim to achieve the exact target threshold height and speed, which will further improve the already strong score of 96.0 %. Minor adjustments in altitude and speed control at the gate will bring the approach fully within target parameters.
