Be on speed by the gate
Next time
Adjust power to bring the approach speed onto 109 kt and hold it through the gates.
What happened: The approach speed deviated from the target through the stabilisation gates. This kind of deviation usually carries through to an unstable threshold crossing.
Watch for: Watch the airspeed indicator against 109 kt.
Departure
Rotate the moment the speed tape reaches 125 kt, not after it.
What happened: Rotation was held until 149 kt, 24 kt past the 125 kt rotation target. Carrying that much extra speed into rotation usually adds unwanted energy right at liftoff.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 34 kt FAST on the reference speed of 109 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 19 kt FAST on the reference speed of 109 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,994 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,716 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Southwest Minnesota Regional Airport - Marshall/Ryan Field (KMML), the aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 12. The takeoff distance of 2,549 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway, was sufficient to achieve liftoff speed of 150 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 63°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a 2-knot tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it transitioned from Marshall, Minnesota, to a point 4 miles southeast of MN96 Rohwer Airport Rushmore, where it leveled off at 24,999 feet above sea level. The enroute climb phase, which spanned 9 minutes and covered 54 nautical miles, saw the aircraft ascend by 22,780 feet. Following a 22-minute level cruise, the aircraft began its descent from 24,998 feet to 3,107 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,890 feet, over a distance of 83 nautical miles. The descent phase concluded with a brief level cruise near 81KS Blackhawk Airport Meriden, Kansas, before the aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 21 at Topeka Regional Airport (KFOE).
The final approach, which began 4 nautical miles from the airport and 1,307 feet above ground level, featured a heading of 220.0°. The aircraft touched down 1,110 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 101 knots and a touchdown rate of -202 feet per minute. The total landing distance of 3,540 feet, which accounted for 51% of the runway, was within acceptable limits. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding a flight that covered 335 nautical miles and utilized no fuel.
The aircraft, C750, successfully executed a final approach to runway 21 at KFOE Topeka Regional Airport from the north east, aligning with the heading of 220.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,307 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 112 knots. This slight deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 1,110 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 101 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -202 feet per minute was only fair, indicating a slightly higher than ideal rate of descent. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating precise control and coordination from the pilot. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a light headwind of 1 knot, contributed to a relatively smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 3,540 feet, which accounted for 51% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, showcasing the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 94.5%, indicating a high level of proficiency and skill from the pilot.
