Monitor your 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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,493 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,124 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 to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 14 at KICT Wichita Eisenhower National Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,661 feet, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 270°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the tailwind was 1 knot. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile southeast of KICT Wichita Eisenhower National Airport, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,282 feet above sea level to 19,561 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,279 feet in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles north of Potwin, Kansas, and lasted for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 157 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles west of Rock Port, Missouri, where it descended from 19,358 feet above sea level to 2,258 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,100 feet in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 58 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32L at KOMA Eppley Airfield was made from the southeast, heading 324.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,261 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 32L was successful, with a runway length of 9,493 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 104 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,127 feet, and the touchdown speed was 97 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was excellent at -92 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 270°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 2,301 feet, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 255 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 49 minutes. The aircraft used 2,913 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed on runway 32L at KOMA Eppley Airfield, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The aircraft's final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 324.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evidenced by the perfect runway touchdown alignment.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was evaluated, revealing a touchdown speed of 97 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. However, this did not compromise the overall safety and control of the landing. The touchdown distance of 1,127 feet was also within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed approach and landing.
The landing distance of 2,301 feet, which accounted for 24% of the runway length, was also satisfactory. This suggests that the aircraft's brakes were effectively utilized to bring the plane to a stop within a reasonable distance. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, which likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing. Overall, the Cessna CJ4 Citation's landing on runway 32L at KOMA Eppley Airfield was a success, with a score of 99.4% indicating an extremely high level of proficiency and skill on the part of the pilot.
