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: centreline 2.5° off, against a 1° limit and wings 12° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,675 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 160 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 Salem-Willamette Valley Airport/McNary Field took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 13, utilizing 58% of the available runway length to achieve a takeoff distance of 1,031 meters. Liftoff speed was reached at 138 knots, with a local temperature of 26°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into a steady enroute climb, ascending from 1,230 feet above sea level to 24,000 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with a total ascent of 22,771 feet. Following a brief enroute level cruise, the aircraft began its descent, initially from 24,000 feet to 4,531 feet in 14 minutes, covering 85 nautical miles. A second descent phase followed, from 4,177 feet to 2,668 feet in just 3 minutes, as the aircraft prepared for its final approach to Olympia Regional Airport.
The final approach to runway 17 at Olympia Regional Airport was executed from the north, with a heading of 202.0° and an altitude of 1,137 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 117 knots, with a touchdown distance of 160 meters. The total landing distance was 721 meters, utilizing just 43% of the available runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing the flight in 43 minutes and consuming 1,393 kilograms of fuel. The total flight distance was 172 nautical miles.
The aircraft, FWB RYANAIR EI-DAH, successfully completed a landing on runway 17 at KOLM Olympia Regional Airport, with a final approach initiated from the north at a heading of 202.0° and a distance of 3 nm from the threshold. The approach was conducted at an altitude of 1,137 ft agl, with a good threshold height observed. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 117 kt, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown distance of 160 m was satisfactory.
The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a touchdown rate of -248 fpm, although this was considered fair due to the slightly higher than ideal rate. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.2 m, which may have been a result of the aircraft's approach path. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 118 kt, but this did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The aircraft's rollout was well-aligned with the runway centreline, demonstrating good control and stability during the post-landing phase. The total landing distance of 721 m, which accounted for 43% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance was considered excellent, with a score of 98.3% reflecting the high standard of flying demonstrated by the crew.
