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.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,938 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 381 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Venice Marco Polo Airport, the Cessna 208B began its journey with a smooth taxiing process, taking just one minute to reach the runway. After a successful departure roll from runway 04R, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 79 kt, utilizing only 16% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from the west.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began to ascend from 733 ft above sea level to 8,512 ft, a vertical increase of 7,780 ft in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nm. The climb was initiated 2 miles southeast of Quarto d'Altino, and the aircraft continued to cruise at this altitude for a short period before beginning its descent. The descent from 8,608 ft to 7,270 ft, a decrease of 1,338 ft, took only 3 minutes and covered 10 nm. The aircraft then leveled off at various altitudes, cruising for a total of 13 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nm.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Pula Airport, it began its final descent, reducing its altitude from 6,957 ft to 2,209 ft in just 5 minutes, covering 13 nm. The final approach was executed from the west, with the aircraft aligning perfectly with the runway. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 381 m and a speed of 61 kt. The total landing distance was 851 m, utilizing only 29% of the available runway length. After a smooth taxiing process, the aircraft came to a stop, having completed a total flight distance of 85 nm, using 122 kg of fuel in the process.
The final approach to runway 09 at LDPL Pula Airport from the west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 88.0° at 4 nm and 1,308 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the threshold height at 79 ft above ground level being well above the target, indicating a stable and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 66 kt was good, demonstrating a well-executed approach configuration.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 381 m was good, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The touchdown speed of 61 kt was also good, and the firm touchdown rate of -326 fpm suggested a controlled and stable touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. 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 851 m, which accounted for 29% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with good precision and control, resulting in a score of 84.9%.
