Be on speed by the gate
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,831 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 579 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 35R at CYYC Calgary International Airport in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 35R, the Cessna 750 Citation X used 1,430 m of runway, representing 34 % of the available length, and lifted off at 144 kt. Ambient temperature was 8 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 356°, providing a 2 kt headwind and no cross-wind component.
Climb commenced approximately 3 mi north of CYYC, with the aircraft ascending from 4,549 ft asl to 40,933 ft asl, a gain of 36,384 ft achieved in 25 minutes while covering 175 nm.
Level cruise began about 22 mi east of Medicine Hat and continued for 154 minutes, during which the flight covered 1,476 nm.
Descent was initiated roughly 6 mi southeast of 0PA3 Robbins Farm Airport, Troy, PA, with the aircraft descending from 40,819 ft asl to 1,261 ft asl, a loss of 39,558 ft over 20 minutes and a distance of 131 nm.
The final approach to runway 06 at KTEB Teterboro Airport involved a descent from 1,281 ft agl to 51 ft agl in 103 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 06 was performed with a threshold speed of 132 kt, while touchdown occurred at 115 kt, 158 m beyond the touchdown zone and 3.5 m off the centreline. The touchdown rate was smooth at minus 107 fpm, and the total landing roll measured 1,034 m, equivalent to 56 % of the 1,831 m runway. Local conditions were 27 °C, wind 2 kt from 30°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline during the deceleration phase.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,797 nm, required 216 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 3,853 kg of fuel.
The Cessna 750 Citation X approached runway 06 at KTEB Teterboro Airport with an unstable assessment at the 1,000 ft gate, being more than 20 kt above VREF. The final approach descended from 1,281 ft agl to 51 ft agl in 103 seconds under temperature 27 °C, wind 2 kt from 30°, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft’s speed was well above target at 132 kt and the threshold height was reported as good. The flare proceeded from this condition without further comment.
Touchdown occurred 158 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 115 kt, noted as a little fast, and a smooth vertical rate of minus 107 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned, being 3.5 m off the centreline.
Rollout alignment was very good and the aircraft used a total landing distance of 1,034 m, representing 56 % of the 1,831 m runway.
To bring the overall score closer to perfection, reduce speed to the VREF target by the 1,000 ft gate and manage the flare to achieve touchdown speed at or near VREF. Maintaining the correct approach speed will also help keep the touchdown point within the intended zone.
