Hold the approach speed
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,493 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 189 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 03 at UEST Tiksi Airport in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Russia. The takeoff distance was 1,122 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 140 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -14°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots blowing from a direction of 202°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 13 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of UEST Tiksi Airport and rising from an altitude of 1,043 feet above sea level to 41,575 feet above sea level, an increase of 40,532 feet in 19 minutes. The climb covered a distance of 129 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 7 miles west of Nizhneyansk, Russia. This phase lasted for 74 minutes and covered a distance of 576 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting at a latitude of 70.2566492 and a longitude of 165.1082512. The descent from 42,507 feet above sea level to 23,196 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,311 feet, took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 52 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 58 miles west of Pevek, Russia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 47 miles west of Pevek. The descent from 22,229 feet above sea level to 1,504 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,725 feet, took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 54 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35 at UHMP Pevek Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 350.0° at an altitude of 1,497 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 35 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 99 knots and a touchdown rate of -345 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 187 meters, which was 51% of the runway length.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -33°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots blowing from a direction of 180°. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 829 nautical miles, which was covered in 132 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 1,701 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Longitude aircraft successfully landed at UHMP Pevek Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its operation. The final approach to runway 35 from the south, heading 350.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,497 feet above ground level (agl), showcased the pilot's ability to navigate complex flight scenarios.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 104 kt, which is considered good threshold speed. This indicates that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's descent effectively. The touchdown distance of 187 meters was also within acceptable limits, further highlighting the pilot's skill in executing a smooth landing.
The touchdown speed of 99 kt was also satisfactory, and the firm touchdown rate of -345 feet per minute (fpm) suggests that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were challenging, with a temperature of -33°C and a wind speed of 2 kt from 180°. However, the pilot successfully managed the crosswind and tailwind components, which were 0 kt and 2 kt, respectively. The total landing distance of 1,270 meters, which accounts for 51% of the runway length, is a testament to the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, demonstrating the pilot's expertise in operating the Cessna Longitude aircraft.
