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 3,041 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 647 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 08 at HTMS Moshi Airport, a Beechcraft King Air 350 aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance was 664 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 113 knots, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 65 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Moshi, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 3,667 feet above sea level to 9,157 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,491 feet in just 3 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, flying for 78 minutes and covering 164 nautical miles.
The enroute cruise phase was followed by a descent, which began 4 miles east of HTPA Mkwaja Airport Pangani. The aircraft descended from 9,080 feet above sea level to 7,394 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,686 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. Another level cruise phase ensued, lasting 6 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 12 miles south east of HTPA Mkwaja Airport Pangani. The descent from 7,082 feet above sea level to 1,869 feet above sea level was a decrease of 5,213 feet in 7 minutes, covering 22 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 18 at HTZA Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, flying from the north at a heading of 174.0 degrees and 3 nautical miles from the airport.
The landing was executed on runway 18, which had a length of 3,041 meters. The local weather conditions were warm, with a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind of 8 knots at 35 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the tailwind was 6 knots. The touchdown point was 218 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 92 knots. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -97 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,068 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking just 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 207 nautical miles, taking 61 minutes and consuming 545 kilograms of fuel. The flight was a smooth and efficient operation, with the aircraft performing well in various phases of flight.
The Beechcraft King Air 350 aircraft successfully landed at HTZA Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, achieving a score of 93.2%. The final approach to runway 18 was initiated from the north, with a heading of 174.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,815 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 218 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the expected threshold. The touchdown speed of 92 knots was a bit faster than the recommended threshold speed of 104 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -97 feet per minute was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly longer than expected landing distance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 35°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,068 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the expected performance. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled descent, as well as the good runway rollout alignment. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment with the centerline.
