Configure earlier
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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 761 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 761 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 288 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Pilatus PC-24 N971LY taxied from the parking area to runway 04 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 04, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 123 kt after traveling 614 m, which represented 29 % of the runway length; local weather at the time was 31 °C with a wind of 25 kt from 349°, a cross-wind component of 17 kt and a head-wind component of 18 kt.
Climb commenced overhead the 4NY2 Edo Seaplane Base College Point, with the airplane climbing from 1,096 ft asl to 19,664 ft asl, an altitude gain of 18,567 ft achieved in 5 minutes while covering 24 nm.
The cruise segment began 5 nm south of Niantic, Connecticut, and lasted 15 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 44 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 2 nm north of Eatons Neck, with the aircraft descending from 19,661 ft asl to 2,035 ft asl, a loss of 17,626 ft in 10 minutes while covering 58 nm.
On final approach to runway 28 at KBID Block Island State Airport, the aircraft approached from the east on a heading of 264.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,235 ft agl; the local conditions were 28 °C with a wind of 12 kt from 319°, a cross-wind component of 10 kt and a head-wind component of 7 kt.
Landing on runway 28, which is 745 m long, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 114 kt; touchdown occurred at a speed of 108 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 207 fpm, and the touchdown point used more than 50 % of the available runway, positioned 5.3 m off the centreline.
The rollout distance measured 710 m, representing 95 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment during rollout was offset by 7.7 m from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 132 nm, required 38 minutes of flight time, and consumed 238 kg of fuel.
On final approach to runway 28 at KBID, the Pilatus PC-24 N971LY tracked a heading of 264.0° from the east, descending from 4 nm out at 1,235 ft agl. Local conditions were 28 °C with a wind from 319° at 12 kt, providing a 7 kt headwind component and a 10 kt crosswind component.
The aircraft crossed the threshold at a good height and reduced speed to 114 kt, which was noted as slightly below the target speed for the phase.
Touchdown occurred beyond the midpoint of the runway, using more than 50 % of the available 745 m, with a speed of 108 kt described as good and a vertical rate of -207 fpm rated fair. The touchdown point was offset 5.3 m to the right of the centreline.
The total landing roll measured 710 m, representing 95 % of the runway length, and the rollout track was offset 7.7 m from the centreline.
With a score of 83.6 %, focus on achieving an earlier touchdown point to reduce the distance used and improve centreline alignment during rollout. Adjust the flare to place the main gear nearer the threshold while maintaining the established speed envelope.
