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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,999 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 195 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 then departed from runway 25R at General Mitchell International Airport (KMKE), with a takeoff distance of 4,212 feet, which was 88% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started at an altitude of 1,379 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 24,997 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,618 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles. The enroute climb began 2 miles east of Greendale, Wisconsin, and ended at a point 2 miles east of Beloit, Wisconsin.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 35 minutes and covered a distance of 291 nautical miles. This phase started overhead Beloit, Wisconsin, and ended at a point 2 miles northeast of Mayes Homestead Airport (37MO) in Polo, Missouri.
The enroute descent phase began 2 miles northeast of Mayes Homestead Airport and lasted for 16 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 25,000 feet above sea level to 1,727 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,273 feet. This phase covered a distance of 77 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at Topeka Regional Airport (KFOE) was made from the northeast, with a heading of 220.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 647 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 21, which had a length of 6,999 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 116 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 181 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 115 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -477 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 27 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 2,532 feet, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 426 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 69 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KFOE Topeka Regional Airport, achieving a score of 93.7%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 220.0° at 4 nautical miles and 647 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 21, which has a length of 6,999 feet.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 116 knots, indicating a good approach. However, the touchdown speed of 115 knots was slightly above the ideal speed, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown. The touchdown rate of -477 feet per minute (fpm) was indeed hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a higher than desired rate of descent.
The runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centreline, being off by 27 feet. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a miscalculation of the aircraft's position. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 2,532 feet was 36% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline, suggesting that the aircraft may have drifted off the centreline during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
