Slow the descent speed
See Enroute Descent
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 4,951 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 4,951 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 422 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 31 at KIJX Jacksonville Municipal Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,503 feet, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 146 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 was 1 knot, and the headwind was also 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of KIJX Jacksonville Municipal Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,589 feet above sea level to 12,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,421 feet, in 4 minutes and covering 21 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles southeast of the 62LL Rush Copley Emergency Center Heliport in Yorkville, Illinois. This cruise phase lasted for 13 minutes and covered 86 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile south of the 08IL Harms Airstrip in Tampico, Illinois, and descended from an altitude of 11,763 feet above sea level to 2,566 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,198 feet, in 6 minutes and covering 32 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile east of Franklin Grove, Illinois, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 07 at KRPJ Rochelle Municipal Airport - Koritz Field was made from the southwest, heading 70.0°, at an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 07 at KRPJ Rochelle Municipal Airport - Koritz Field was successful, with a touchdown distance of 420 feet, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 109 knots was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate was hard at -445 feet per minute. 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°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,246 feet, which was 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 149 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 30 minutes. The aircraft used 6,409 pounds of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KRPJ Rochelle Municipal Airport - Koritz Field, achieving a score of 97.4%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 70.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 07, which has a length of 4,951 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 111 knots. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly slow during the approach, but it still managed to touch down safely. The touchdown distance was good at 420 feet, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's speed and the runway length.
However, the touchdown speed of 109 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -445 feet per minute (fpm). A hard touchdown rate can be a concern as it may put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and other components. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which is relatively weak. These conditions likely contributed to the successful landing.
The total landing distance was 2,246 feet, which is 45% of the runway length. This is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's speed and the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to align the aircraft with the centerline of the runway.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there are some areas for improvement, such as maintaining a more consistent speed during the approach and touchdown, and reducing the touchdown rate to minimize the stress on the aircraft's landing gear and other components.
