Hold the approach speed
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,784 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 305 m 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 09 at ZBLA Hulunbuir Hailar Airport in Hailar, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China.
During takeoff, the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 111 knots, covering a distance of 1,254 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of -25°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 194°.
After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of the airport and continued for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,896 feet above sea level to 29,255 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,359 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 33 miles west of Hailar and lasted for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 189 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 11 miles south of Mogoytuy, Transbaikal Territory, Russia, and continued for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 62 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 29,282 feet above sea level to 5,805 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,477 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles south east of Atamanovka and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 2 miles south east of Chita, Transbaikal Territory, Russia, and continued for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 5,489 feet above sea level to 3,696 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,793 feet.
The final approach to runway 29 at UIAA Chita-Kadala International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 281.0° at an altitude of 1,452 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 2,784 meters, and a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 100 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 304 meters, and the touchdown speed was 96 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -112 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -28°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 299°.
The total landing distance was 1,384 meters, which was 50% 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 315 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 65 minutes. The aircraft used 543 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at UIAA Chita-Kadala International Airport, achieving a score of 93.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 281.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,452 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of -28°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 299°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 100 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 304 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 96 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -112 feet per minute was smooth, suggesting a well-executed landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, including a headwind of 3 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing. The total landing distance of 1,384 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's speed and direction. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
