Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,618 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 283 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 the departure runway in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm before lining up for departure.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 27 at BGSF Kangerlussuaq Airport, achieving a takeoff distance of 287 m (10 % of runway) and lifting off at 79 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 15 °C with wind 30 kt from 216°, providing a crosswind component of 13 kt and a headwind component of 27 kt.
Climb began 1 mile west of Kangerlussuaq (Qeqqata, Greenland), with the airplane ascending from 1,090 ft asl to 12,000 ft asl, an increase of 10,910 ft achieved in 10 minutes while covering 21 nm.
Level cruise was established 22 miles west of Kangerlussuaq (Qeqqata, Greenland) and persisted for 200 minutes, during which the flight covered 457 nm.
Descent was initiated 14 miles north east of Iqaluit (Nunavut, Canada), descending from 12,000 ft asl to 1,371 ft asl, a loss of 10,629 ft completed in 21 minutes over a distance of 40 nm.
The final approach to runway 16 at CYFB Iqaluit Airport was flown from the north-west, on a heading of 136.0° at 4 nm and 1,276 ft agl. The approach continued with a descent from 1,328 ft agl to 59 ft agl in 222 seconds, and the aircraft met the stabilisation gates criteria.
Landing occurred on runway 16 at CYFB Iqaluit Airport, whose length is 2,618 m. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 69 kt, while touchdown was recorded at 256 m from the threshold with a speed of 66 kt and a firm touchdown rate of -382 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Local weather reported a temperature of 15 °C, wind 30 kt from 216°, a crosswind of 30 kt and a headwind of 5 kt. The total landing distance measured 422 m, representing 16 % of runway.
Runway rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 528nm, took 238 (units as provided), and consumed 558 kg of fuel.
The Cessna 208B entered the final approach to runway 16 at CYFB Iqaluit Airport from the north-west on a heading of 136.0° at 4 nm and 1,276 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and the aircraft descended from 1,328 ft agl to 59 ft agl in 222 seconds.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 69 kt. The flare produced a touchdown distance of 256 m and a touchdown speed of 66 kt, described as a little fast, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 382 fpm and perfect runway touchdown alignment.
Touchdown occurred with the aircraft aligned perfectly on the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 422 m, representing 16 % of the 2,618 m runway. Runway rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase.
The 74.9 % score reflects a solid performance; focus on reducing the threshold and touchdown speeds to their targets and moderating the flare to lessen the firm rate, which will bring the landing closer to optimal parameters.
