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: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,437 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 350 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from runway 27L at KOSU The Ohio State University Airport - Don Scott Field, with a takeoff distance of 889 meters, accounting for 58% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 149 knots, with a local temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and wind conditions of 21 knots at 218 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.
Following departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 42,995 feet above sea level in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted 28 minutes and covered 214 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent to 32,002 feet above sea level in 3 minutes, covering 16 nautical miles. The flight continued with multiple level cruise and descent phases, with the final descent initiated 3 miles south east of Rockport, Indiana, resulting in a decrease of 22,011 feet in 12 minutes, covering 73 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 22 at KSPI Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport, with a heading of 225.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 811 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 349 meters, accounting for 38% of the runway length. The aircraft used 1,201 kilograms of fuel for the flight, covering a total distance of 483 nautical miles in 86 minutes. The flight concluded with a taxiing time of 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile, before arriving at the parking area.
The aircraft, Cessna Citation X Winglets, painted in a distinctive silver, orange, and turquoise scheme, successfully completed a landing on runway 22 at KSPI Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport. The approach from the north east, heading 225.0° at 3 nautical miles and 811 feet above ground level, was characterized by good quality, with the pilot maintaining a stable and controlled descent. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 123 knots was achieved as expected.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 349 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 118 knots was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate of -494 feet per minute was slightly harder than desired, indicating a slightly steeper descent than intended. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 32°C and a headwind of 18 knots, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 924 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway length, was acceptable. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 94.6%. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were well-suited to the conditions, resulting in a safe and controlled landing.
