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: six 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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed below the reference speed.
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 630 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Marshalltown Municipal Airport (KMIW), the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 31, the departure roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground after a takeoff distance of 3,835 feet, which accounted for 77% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 144 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile northeast of Albion, Iowa. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 2,146 feet above sea level to 14,195 feet, an increase of 12,049 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 23 minutes and covered 166 nautical miles, starting approximately 3 miles east of Collins, Iowa. The descent phase began 1 mile southeast of Platte City, Missouri, where the aircraft descended from 14,996 feet to 3,086 feet, a decrease of 11,910 feet in 8 minutes, covering 42 nautical miles. The final level cruise phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered 12 nautical miles, starting 1 mile northwest of Lecompton, Kansas.
Upon approaching Topeka Regional Airport (KFOE), the aircraft began its final approach to runway 21 from the northeast, heading 220.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,188 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 634 feet, which was 42% of the runway length. Although the touchdown speed of 118 knots was slightly above the threshold speed, the touchdown rate of -227 feet per minute was considered fair. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 36 feet from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned. The total landing distance was 2,957 feet, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 249 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 47 minutes, with no fuel consumption reported.
The aircraft, C750, successfully completed a landing on runway 21 at KFOE Topeka Regional Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved, allowing the pilot to maintain a safe margin above the runway surface. The threshold speed of 120 kt was also well-managed, indicating a high degree of control and precision.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 118 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -227 fpm. However, the touchdown distance of 634 ft was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 36 ft from the centreline, which was also reflected in the runway rollout alignment.
The overall performance of the landing was impressive, with a total landing distance of 2,957 ft, representing 42% of the runway length. This indicates a high degree of control and precision, particularly given the relatively short runway length of 6,999 ft. The landing score of 94.6% reflects the pilot's ability to execute a safe and controlled landing, despite some minor deviations from optimal performance.
