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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,012 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,012 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 230 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Kodiak 100, then departed from runway 27 at Carl R Keller Field, with a takeoff distance of 220 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 78 knots.
During takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 230°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Port Clinton, Ohio. The climb from 1,578 feet above sea level to 2,504 feet above sea level, an increase of 926 feet, was achieved in 1 minute and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile northwest of Port Clinton, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 4 miles east of 88OH Chippewa Field Williston, with a descent from 2,445 feet above sea level to 1,880 feet above sea level, a decrease of 564 feet, achieved in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles northeast of Williston, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22 at KTDZ Toledo Executive Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 219.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,233 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 22 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 228 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 65 knots was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -30 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions during landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 190°, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 31 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 19 minutes. The aircraft used 40 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a Kodiak 100, successfully landed at KTDZ Toledo Executive Airport, achieving a score of 96.4%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 219.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,233 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing on runway 22, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 73 kt, coming in at 74 kt. This minor deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The touchdown distance of 228 meters was deemed good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively and maintain control during the landing process. The touchdown speed of 65 kt was slightly faster than the target speed, but this did not compromise the safety of the landing. The touchdown rate of -30 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline. This minor deviation from the ideal touchdown position may require some adjustments to the aircraft's approach and landing technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 10 kt at 190°. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 kt, while the headwind component was 9 kt. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 468 meters was 46% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively and maintain control during the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating a high level of control and precision during the landing process. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in executing a safe and controlled landing.
