Slow down earlier
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 4,982 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 4,982 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 652 ft 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 approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 24 at KELM Elmira Corning Regional Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,933 feet, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 143 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead KELM Elmira Corning Regional Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,905 feet above sea level to 5,950 feet, an increase of 4,045 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 30 nautical miles. This phase began 1 mile west of West Elmira, New York. The enroute descent phase started 5 miles northwest of Candor, New York, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 6,001 feet above sea level to 2,884 feet, a decrease of 3,117 feet, in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at KBGM Greater Binghamton/Edwin A Link field was made from the west, with a heading of 86.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10, which had a length of 4,982 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 106 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 643 feet, and the touchdown speed was 104 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -608 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 41 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°, with a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,150 feet, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 45 feet from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 58 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 19 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,403 pounds of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KBGM Greater Binghamton/Edwin A Link field, achieving a score of 90.1%. The final approach to runway 10 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 86.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, which has a length of 4,982 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 106 knots. However, the touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 643 feet, and the touchdown speed of 104 knots was also good. Unfortunately, the touchdown rate was heavy at -608 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a steeper-than-desired descent.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 41 feet from the centreline, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway rollout alignment by 45 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 59°F, a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°, and a crosswind of 0 knots. The tailwind component was 2 knots, which may have had a minor impact on the aircraft's performance.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, including the heavy touchdown rate and the misaligned runway touchdown and rollout positions. However, the aircraft's performance was generally good, and the pilot's skills were demonstrated in achieving a score of 90.1%.
