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 4,469 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 4,469 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 570 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 to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 02R at KBNA Nashville International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,005 feet, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 135 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of KBNA Nashville International Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,554 feet above sea level to 24,472 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,918 feet, in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 40 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles north of Lafayette, Tennessee, and lasted for 69 minutes, covering a distance of 496 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile north of PS21 Flying Eagle Airport Dalmatia, Pennsylvania, descending from an altitude of 24,388 feet above sea level to 3,162 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,226 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 68 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13 at KMPO Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport was made from the west, heading 115.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 13 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 559 feet, which is considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 109 knots was fast, and the touchdown rate of -279 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 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°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 2,196 feet, which is 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 610 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 101 minutes. The aircraft used 2 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KMPO Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 96.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 115.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,263 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 13, which has a length of 4,469 feet.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down with a speed of 109 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 113 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 559 feet was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -279 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting a moderate rate of descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 11 feet, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or landing technique. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a light wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 2,196 feet was 49% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and alignment of the aircraft during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and technique.
