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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: no landing flap set, centreline 1.5° off, against a 1° limit and wings 32° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,092 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 2,092 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 351 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure roll from runway 04 at Reutte-Höfen Airfield was smooth, with the Cessna 208B accelerating down the 1,304-foot takeoff distance, which represented 63% of the available runway. Liftoff speed was achieved at 66 knots, and the aircraft began its initial climb. Local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 60°F and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 268°.
As the aircraft transitioned to enroute climb, it began to ascend from 3,568 feet above sea level to 7,610 feet, a gain of 4,042 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. This initial climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 27 minutes, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 7,610 feet. The second climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 7,610 feet to 10,356 feet, a gain of 2,746 feet in 7 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles. The descent phase that followed was initiated 1 mile south of Mittelberg, with the aircraft descending from 10,418 feet to 2,080 feet, a decrease of 8,337 feet in 8 minutes, covering 21 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at Hohenems-Dornbirn Airfield was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 225.0°. However, a go-around was executed at 18 feet above ground level. The subsequent landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down at 69 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 351 feet was good, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,125 feet, representing 57% of the available runway. The aircraft's rollout alignment was also perfect, and the total flight distance was 60 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 26 minutes and no fuel consumption.
The Cessna 208B touched down on runway 23 at LOIH Hohenems-Dornbirn Airfield with a score of 94.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 225.0° at 0 nm and 123 ft above ground level. The approach quality was good, with a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold height was well within the acceptable limits, allowing for a safe and stable touchdown.
As the aircraft touched down, it became apparent that the threshold speed was too high at 73 kt, exceeding the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 351 ft was good, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 69 kt was a little fast, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a light headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,125 ft was 57% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. Overall, the landing was well-executed, with the only notable areas for improvement being the threshold speed and touchdown speed. Despite these minor issues, the pilot's skills and attention to detail resulted in a high-scoring landing, with a final score of 94.8%.
