Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 3,485 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 358 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 area to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 24 at BGBW Narsarsuaq Airport in Greenland. The takeoff distance was 589 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 110 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -12°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 329°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Narsarsuaq Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile southwest of the airport. The climb took 17 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,033 feet above sea level to 35,873 feet, an increase of 34,840 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 123 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered 60 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began at a specific latitude and longitude, and the aircraft descended from 35,951 feet to 768 feet, a decrease of 35,184 feet, in 6 minutes, covering 34 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, which started at a different latitude and longitude. This climb took 9 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 863 feet to 36,136 feet, an increase of 35,273 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 97 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 32 minutes and covered 855 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft began its final descent phase, which started 5 miles northwest of CCD3 Woodstock Airport in Canada. The descent took 24 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 37,796 feet to 1,569 feet, a decrease of 36,228 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33 at KBGR Bangor International Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 313.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,361 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 33 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 358 meters, which was 17% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 87 knots, and the touchdown rate was -178 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -6°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 310°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 14 knots. The total landing distance was 600 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 1,274 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 94 minutes. The aircraft used 1,172 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KBGR Bangor International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 313.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,361 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was -6°C, and the wind was blowing at 14 knots from a direction of 310°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 14 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 107 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range.
The touchdown distance of 358 meters was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing. The touchdown speed of 87 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during future landings.
The total landing distance of 600 meters was only 17% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had executed a smooth and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the process.
