Slow down earlier
See Arrival Final 1
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 seven 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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,474 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 904 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna CJ4 Citation took off from runway 26 at KUNU Dodge County Airport, covering 2,402 feet of the 4,800-foot runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 143 knots, with a gentle headwind of 1 knot and a calm crosswind. The local temperature was 64 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind direction of 270 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of Juneau, Wisconsin. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from 1,915 feet above sea level to 10,009 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. This impressive climb was achieved in a short period, demonstrating the aircraft's exceptional performance capabilities.
After reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise 2 miles southwest of KRYV Watertown Municipal Airport. This cruise phase lasted for 9 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 49 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 1 mile south of 37IS Hilbert Airport in Marengo, Illinois, descending from 9,998 feet to 2,688 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise 2 miles north of 56LL Wade Airport in Waterman, Illinois. This cruise phase was shorter, lasting only 4 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 09 at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport, flying from the west at a heading of 89.0 degrees and an altitude of 1,291 feet above ground level.
The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 92 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was good, covering 899 feet of the 6,474-foot runway. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, being 18 feet off the centerline. The aircraft then rolled out of the landing, maintaining good alignment with the runway centerline.
The total landing distance was 2,086 feet, covering 32% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 116 nautical miles, taking 28 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 2,913 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 93.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 89.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,291 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 6,474 feet and its orientation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 96 kt, registering at 97 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 899 feet was within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 92 kt was a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -43 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating a well-executed landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach strategy. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle wind of 1 kt at 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind was minimal at 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 2,086 feet was 32% of the runway's length, which is a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency in executing a precise and controlled touchdown.
