Arrival
Add power on final to hold 66 kt across the threshold.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 57 kt, 9 kt below VREF, and low energy like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown at 142 fpm.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 66 kt at the threshold
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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: sink rate 1,093 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, centreline 1.5° off, against a 1° limit and wings 14° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 920 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 920 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 32 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna CT206G departed EGKA Brighton City Airport on runway 20, applying a take-off roll of 296 m which equated to 32 % of the available runway. Rotation was achieved at 64 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced overhead Lancing, West Sussex, with the aircraft ascending from 968 ft asl to 1 425 ft asl - a gain of 457 ft - in 1 minute while covering less than 1 nm.
Level cruise began 1 mile south of Shoreham-by-Sea and was maintained for 3 minutes, during which 5 nm were traversed.
Descent was initiated 1 mile east of Steyning, West Sussex, descending from 963 ft asl to 135 ft asl - a loss of 828 ft - in 2 minutes and covering 3 nm.
The final approach to runway 20 at EGKA proceeded from 414 ft agl to 15 ft agl in 32 seconds, and the aircraft met the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing on runway 20, which is 920 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 57 kt, a touchdown distance of 31 m and a touchdown speed of 55 kt. The vertical speed at touchdown was minus 143 fpm and alignment was recorded as very good; weather conditions matched those at departure.
The total landing roll measured 337 m, representing 37 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Overall, the flight covered 11 nm, required 8 minutes of elapsed time and consumed 0 kg of fuel.
