Track the centreline on final
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 477 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 477 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 20 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Kodiak 100 taxied from its parking position to runway 04 at AYRM Maramuni Airport in approximately 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm while taxiing.
During the departure roll on runway 04, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 68 kt and became airborne after traveling 282 m, which represented 59 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 271°, a crosswind component of 1 kt and a tailwind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced immediately after take-off, with the aircraft climbing from 5 261 ft asl to 7 164 ft asl, an altitude gain of 1 903 ft achieved in 2 minutes while covering 5 nm.
Descent began 5 nm north-east of AYRM, during which the aircraft descended from 7 161 ft asl to 5 011 ft asl, a loss of 2 150 ft over 3 minutes and a distance of 8 nm.
The final approach to runway 22 was executed from the north-east on a heading of 224.0° at 2 nm and -111 ft agl. Weather remained 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 271°, now a headwind component of 1 kt.
Touchdown occurred before the runway threshold at a speed of 53 kt and a vertical speed of 96 fpm. The landing roll measured 194 m, equivalent to 41 % of the runway, and alignment on rollout was maintained.
In total, the flight covered 15 nm, required 8 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 21 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 22 at AYRM Maramuni Airport was flown from the north-east on a heading of 224.0° at 2 NM distance and -111 ft AGL, with local conditions of 15 °C temperature, wind 1 kt from 271°, providing a 1 kt headwind and 1 kt crosswind.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft maintained a touchdown speed of 53 kt, described as good, and achieved a vertical touchdown rate of 96 fpm, described as perfect, while runway-touchdown alignment was very good.
Touchdown occurred before the runway threshold, with the same speed of 53 kt, rate of 96 fpm and very good alignment as noted.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 194 m, representing 41 % of the runway, and runway-rollout alignment was very good.
To convert the early touchdown into a standard aim-point landing, a slightly later flare should be practiced to place the main wheels near the 300 m (1,000 ft) mark. Maintaining the current speed and alignment will preserve the high overall score.
