Hold the approach angle
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: 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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 374 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Beechcraft King Air 350A began with a 3-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at GCRR César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport. The departure roll took place on runway 21, with a takeoff distance of 666 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 113 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 19°C with 8 knots of wind coming from 260°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The en route climb started 1 mile south of the airport, climbing from 1,036 feet above sea level to 26,121 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles in 11 minutes. The level cruise portion of the flight started 15 miles northwest of La Santa and lasted 41 minutes, covering 183 nautical miles.
The en route descent began 70 miles southeast of Canico, descending from 25,591 feet above sea level to 1,986 feet above sea level, covering 72 nautical miles in 20 minutes. The landing occurred on runway 23 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, with a runway length of 2,483 meters. The aircraft was at a height of 35 feet above ground level at the threshold, with a speed of 101 knots. The touchdown took place 372 meters from the threshold at a speed of 91 knots, with a vertical speed indicator reading of -200 feet per minute. The weather at the time of landing was 16°C with 5 knots of wind coming from 310°, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and no headwind.
The total landing distance was 552 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. Finally, taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 286 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 83 minutes. The flight consumed 401 kilograms of fuel.
Great job on achieving a landing score of 99.1%! Let's break down the different phases of the landing to see what went right.
During the Approach Phase, the aircraft demonstrated excellent glideslope alignment, which is critical for a smooth descent towards the runway. This shows a strong understanding of the aircraft's position in relation to the desired flight path, leading to a precise and controlled approach.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's impressive that the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and executed a perfect landing flare. The threshold height is crucial for a smooth touchdown, and the perfect landing flare indicates a well-timed and controlled descent towards the runway, resulting in a smooth landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was good, and the speed was on target. This shows a high level of precision and control during the critical moment of touchdown. Additionally, the touchdown distance being inside the touchdown zone is a testament to the pilot's proficiency in judging the aircraft's position in relation to the runway.
Lastly, during the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was 4.3 meters from the centerline. While being slightly off-center, this is still within an acceptable range and can be further improved with practice and fine-tuning.
Overall, your landing performance demonstrates a strong understanding of aircraft control and precision. Keep up the great work, and continue to hone your skills to achieve even higher landing scores in the future. Well done!
