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 1,487 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,487 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 613 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a P180, then departed from runway 01 at RJSC Yamagata Airport. The takeoff distance was 863 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 123 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 17 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Higashine, Yamagata-ken, Japan. The climb took 21 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,350 feet above sea level to 30,524 feet, an increase of 29,175 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 10 miles northwest of Shizukuishi, Iwate, Japan. This cruise lasted 14 minutes and covered 94 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 19 miles northwest of RJSO JMSDF Ōminato Base Mutsu, Aomori-ken, Japan. The descent took 13 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 30,342 feet to 9,126 feet, a decrease of 21,216 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 10 miles northwest of RJSB Shiraoi Airport Shiraoi, Hokkaido, Japan. This cruise lasted 7 minutes and covered 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles west of Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. The descent took 6 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 8,655 feet to 1,836 feet, a decrease of 6,820 feet.
The final approach to runway 32 at RJCO Sapporo Okadama Airport was made from the southeast, heading 301.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,787 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 183 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 102 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -91 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 316 degrees. The crosswind was 0 knots, while the headwind was 14 knots. The total landing distance was 1,029 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The flight then ended with taxiing to the parking area from the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 296 nautical miles, and the flight took 73 minutes. The aircraft used 398 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as FFX P180 03 01, successfully landed at RJCO Sapporo Okadama Airport, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The final approach to runway 32 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 301.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,787 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 116 kt, which was considered good. The touchdown point was located 183 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown speed of 102 kt was deemed good, and the touchdown rate of -91 feet per minute was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 14 kt from a direction of 316°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 kt and a headwind of 14 kt, which did not appear to significantly impact the landing. The runway length at RJCO Sapporo Okadama Airport is 1,487 meters, and the total landing distance was 1,029 meters, which equates to 69% of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was reported to be perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled trajectory after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
