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 1,465 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,465 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 444 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 approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PC-12, then departed from runway 29 at NTTB Bora Bora Airport. The takeoff distance was 643 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 96 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 20 degrees.
The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of NTTB Bora Bora Airport Motu Mute. The climb took place from an altitude of 840 feet above sea level to 11,440 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,600 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 11 miles east of BR02. This phase lasted for 32 minutes and covered a distance of 245 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 85 miles southwest of NTKN Naiu Airport Naiu Atoll. The descent took place from an altitude of 11,123 feet above sea level to 3,816 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,307 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 61 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 39 miles west of NTGA Anaa Airport Anaa. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 30 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 9 miles northwest of NTGA Anaa Airport Anaa. The descent took place from an altitude of 3,074 feet above sea level to 1,555 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,520 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at NTGA Anaa Airport was made from the northwest, heading 152.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,539 feet above ground level, and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 14, which had a length of 1,465 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 89 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 444 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 78 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at -44 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 6 degrees. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 875 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 362 nautical miles, taking 53 minutes, and the aircraft used 396 kilograms of fuel.
The PC-12 aircraft successfully landed at NTGA Anaa Airport, achieving a score of 95.6%. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, heading 152.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,539 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 14, which has a length of 1,465 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 88 kn, coming in at 89 kn. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 444 meters. The touchdown speed of 78 kn was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -44 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and wind speeds of 9 kn at 6°. The crosswind component was 6 kn, while the tailwind component was 7 kn. The total landing distance was 875 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and landing phases.
