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 runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 935 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 935 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 296 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the OV-10 Bronco taxiing from the parking area to the runway at PAFA Fairbanks International Airport. This process took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 02L, with a takeoff distance of 274 meters, which is 9% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 98 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Fairbanks, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 688 feet above sea level to 1,459 feet, an increase of 771 feet in 1 minute, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles south of AK28 Chena Marina Airport, lasting 3 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then climbed again, this time from 838 feet to 1,332 feet, an increase of 494 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 15 miles east of PANN Nenana Municipal Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began a descent from 1,600 feet to 1,100 feet, a decrease of 501 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise started 4 miles east of PANN Nenana Municipal Airport, lasting 9 minutes and covering 34 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed again from 1,970 feet to 2,462 feet, an increase of 492 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 5 miles northwest of 11Z Lignite Lignite, lasting 6 minutes and covering 23 nautical miles. The aircraft then climbed from 2,773 feet to 4,532 feet, an increase of 1,759 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise started 16 miles east of Z90 Stampede Airport Kantishna, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft climbed again from 4,728 feet to 5,213 feet, an increase of 485 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 11 miles west of PAIN Denali National Park Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began a descent from 5,046 feet to 2,956 feet, a decrease of 2,089 feet in 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35 at PAIN Denali National Park Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 3.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,219 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 295 meters and a touchdown speed of 96 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was perfect at 9 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°, with a crosswind component of 2 knots and a headwind component of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 624 meters, which is 67% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 133 nautical miles, taking 39 minutes, and the aircraft used 236 kilograms of fuel.
The OV-10 Bronco aircraft successfully landed at PAIN Denali National Park Airport, achieving a score of 94.5%. The final approach to runway 35 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 3.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,219 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was executed on runway 35, which has a length of 935 meters. The threshold height was well within acceptable limits, and the threshold speed was above the target speed of 105 knots. This indicates that the aircraft was able to maintain a safe and controlled approach speed. The touchdown distance of 295 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to slow down effectively during the landing.
However, the touchdown speed of 96 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, which may indicate a slight overcorrection or a need for further fine-tuning of the approach speed. The touchdown rate of 9 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and without excessive deceleration.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path. However, this deviation was relatively minor and did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall safety of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. These conditions were relatively calm and did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 624 meters was 67% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed safely and effectively, with the OV-10 Bronco aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
