Settle the descent rate
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 513 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 513 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 59 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Kodiak 100 taxied from the parking area to runway 05 at AYPE Kairik Airstrip in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 05, using 361 m of runway (30 % of the available length) and achieved liftoff at 72 kt. Local conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a tail-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb began overhead AYPE Kairik Airstrip, with the airplane ascending from 7,908 ft asl to 10,807 ft asl - a gain of 2,899 ft - in 2 minutes while covering 3 nm.
Level cruise was established 2 miles north of Porgera and was maintained for 3 minutes, during which 10 nm were flown.
Descent started 1 mile north of AYPB Paiela Airport, with the aircraft descending from 11,003 ft asl to 6,701 ft asl - a loss of 4,302 ft - in 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
On final approach to runway 01 at AYPB Paiela Airport, the aircraft descended from 602 ft agl to -3 ft agl in 34 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 01, whose length is 513 m, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 57 kt. Touchdown occurred 56 m down the runway at 52 kt with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 139 fpm; the touchdown point was 13.4 m off the centreline. Local weather remained 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a cross-wind of 1 kt and no head-wind.
The total landing roll measured 389 m, representing 76 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 10.4 m.
In total, the flight covered 22 nm, required 11 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 24 kg of fuel.
The aircraft Kodiak 100 completed the final approach to runway 01 at AYPB Paiela Airport, descending from 602 ft agl to -3 ft agl in 34 seconds and scoring on the stabilisation gates; local weather was 15 °C with a 1 kt wind from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind and no head-wind.
During the threshold and flare phase the runway presented a good threshold height, while the threshold speed was a little below target at 57 kt.
Touchdown occurred 56 m down the runway at a speed of 52 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 139 fpm; the touchdown point was misaligned by 13.4 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 389 m, representing 76 % of the 513 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.4 m from the centreline.
To improve the score, focus on achieving the target threshold speed and refining centreline alignment during touchdown and rollout.
