Track the centreline on final
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.

One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 573 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 573 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 250 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Kodiak 100 taxied from the parking area to runway 02 at AYGH Guhu Airstrip in a duration of 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 02, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 69 kt and became airborne after a takeoff distance of 358 m, representing 63 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 3 kt and a tail-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced overhead the airfield, rising from 3,993 ft asl to 7,010 ft asl - a gain of 3,017 ft - in 3 minutes while traversing 6 nm.
The first cruise segment began 6 miles east of AYGH, lasted 2 minutes and covered 4 nm.
Descent started 5 miles east of the airfield, descending from 6,960 ft asl to 4,907 ft asl - a loss of 2,052 ft - in 2 minutes and spanning 3 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 2 miles north-east of the airfield, persisted for 4 minutes and encompassed 2 nm.
For the final approach to runway 20, the aircraft aligned from the north-east on a heading of 205.0° at 1 nm and 227 ft agl.
Landing on runway 20 was achieved with a threshold speed of 68 kt. Touchdown occurred 249 m down the runway at 54 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 2 fpm and a lateral deviation of 7.6 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 295°, a cross-wind component of 3 kt and no head-wind. The total landing distance recorded was 426 m, equivalent to 74 % of the runway.
Runway rollout was described as very good, with the aircraft remaining well aligned throughout the deceleration phase.
In total, the flight covered 17 nm, required 11 minutes of elapsed time and consumed 27 kg of fuel.
The aircraft approached runway 20 at AYGH Guhu Airstrip from the north-east on a heading of 205.0° at one nautical mile and 227 ft AGL. Ambient temperature was 15 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 295°, producing a 3 kt crosswind and no headwind. The final approach contributed to the overall score of 94.7 %.
Threshold height was good and the aircraft crossed the threshold at a speed of 68 kt, which the input rates as good.
Touchdown occurred 249 m down the runway at a speed of 54 kt, both described as good, with a vertical rate of minus 2 fpm, rated perfect. The touchdown point was offset 7.6 m from the centreline, noted as slightly misaligned.
The total landing distance measured 426 m, representing 74 % of the 573 m runway, and rollout alignment was described as very good.
Improve lateral alignment at touchdown to reduce the 7.6 m offset from the centreline while preserving the current speed and vertical rate to maintain the high overall score.
