Slow the descent speed
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.
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,208 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,032 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 18L at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (KDFW). The takeoff distance was 2,240 feet, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. There was a slight crosswind of 1 knot, but no headwind. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile southwest of the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The climb was from an altitude of 1,602 feet above sea level to 15,011 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,409 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 2 miles west of The Colony, Texas. This phase lasted for 30 minutes and covered a distance of 173 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 1 mile south of Kellyville, Oklahoma, and involved a descent from 15,003 feet above sea level to 1,977 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,026 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35 at the Bartlesville Municipal Airport (KBVO) was made from the south, with a heading of 359.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 35, which had a length of 6,208 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 110 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,032 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 98 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -126 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°, with a slight crosswind of 1 knot and no headwind.
The total landing distance was 2,140 feet, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 240 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 53 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KBVO Bartlesville Municipal Airport, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 359.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 6,208 feet and its orientation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good control, with a smooth touchdown rate of -126 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown speed of 98 knots was slightly above the target, but still within acceptable limits. The landing distance of 1,032 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component, allowing the pilot to maintain a stable approach. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The total landing distance of 2,140 feet was 34% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision.
