Slow down earlier
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.

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 5,442 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 274 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 19R at General Mitchell International Airport (KMKE). The takeoff distance was 2,344 feet, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 140 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 90°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and reached an altitude of 29,975 feet above sea level (asl) from an initial altitude of 1,682 feet asl. This increase of 28,293 feet was achieved in 11 minutes and covered a distance of 53 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 8 miles northeast of Rogers Park, Illinois, and lasted for 51 minutes, covering a distance of 391 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 1 mile northeast of Saint Paul, Virginia, and descended from 30,107 feet asl to 9,552 feet asl, a decrease of 20,555 feet in 16 minutes and covering 90 nautical miles.
The flight continued with multiple enroute climbs and descents, including a climb from 9,553 feet asl to 12,591 feet asl in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles, and a descent from 12,486 feet asl to 10,624 feet asl in 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles. The aircraft also experienced a climb from 10,650 feet asl to 12,612 feet asl in 3 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at Statesville Regional Airport (KSVH) was made from the west, heading 98.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,459 feet above ground level (agl). The landing on runway 10 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 264 feet and a touchdown speed of 86 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -97 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 90°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,224 feet, which accounted for 22% 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 covered a distance of 585 nautical miles and took 99 minutes, using 0 pounds of fuel.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KSVH Statesville Regional Airport, achieving a score of 99.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 98.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,459 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the final approach, setting up for a smooth touchdown on runway 10.
The runway at KSVH Statesville Regional Airport has a length of 5,442 feet, providing ample space for the CJ4 Citation to land safely. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 88 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.
Upon touchdown, the CJ4 Citation performed well, with a touchdown distance of 264 feet and a touchdown speed of 86 knots. The touchdown rate of -97 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft aligning itself precisely with the centerline of the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 4 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the approach. The total landing distance of 1,224 feet was only 22% of the runway length, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control.
During the rollout, the CJ4 Citation maintained perfect alignment with the runway centerline, showcasing the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability after touchdown. Overall, the landing was a success, with the CJ4 Citation performing well in all aspects of the approach and landing.
