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: no landing flap set and centreline 11.4° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 4.6° off, against a 1° limit.

Plan view — the full 1,178 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 9 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from runway 08 at Gregorio Luperon International Airport, Puerto Plata, with a takeoff distance of 600 meters, representing 19% of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 76 knots, and with a local temperature of 15°C and a negligible wind, the conditions were favorable for a smooth departure.
As the aircraft climbed to 3,761 feet above sea level, it covered a distance of 7 nautical miles in 5 minutes, achieving an impressive rate of climb. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted 10 minutes, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered 18 nautical miles. The flight then entered a series of climb and cruise phases, with the aircraft ascending to higher altitudes and then leveling off to maintain a steady altitude. The final descent phase began 1 mile north east of Villa Vasquez, with the aircraft descending from 5,810 feet to 1,505 feet above sea level in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at Monte Cristi Airport was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 251.0° at 3 nautical miles and 848 feet above ground level. The landing was executed smoothly, with a touchdown distance of 6 meters and a touchdown speed of 39 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at -29 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 191 meters, representing 16% of the available runway. The aircraft used 14 kilograms of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 77 nautical miles and lasted 46 minutes.
The final approach to runway 23 at MDMC Monte Cristi Airport from the north east, heading 251.0° at 3 nm and 848 ft agl, was executed with good approach quality. The aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent throughout the approach phase, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The threshold speed of 40 kt was significantly below the target speed, requiring the pilot to exercise caution to avoid stalling the aircraft.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 6 m was good, and the touchdown speed of 39 kt was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -29 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 m from the centreline, which may require attention in future approaches. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.
The total landing distance of 191 m, which accounted for 16% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent and stable path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of proficiency, resulting in a score of 90.0%.
