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.

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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 35 kt FAST on the reference speed of 113 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 28 kt FAST on the reference speed of 113 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,994 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,924 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field), the aircraft began its journey on runway 33, accelerating down the 2,419-foot takeoff distance, which represented 49% of the available runway. At a liftoff speed of 140 knots, the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 62°F and a gentle headwind of 1 knot. The wind direction was from the west, with a crosswind component of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 30,000 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 71 nautical miles. The climb was initiated 1 mile east of East Chattanooga, and the aircraft continued to ascend to its cruising altitude. Following a 44-minute level cruise, covering 383 nautical miles, the aircraft began its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 29,994 feet to 3,087 feet in 16 minutes, while covering 96 nautical miles. The final approach to Topeka Regional Airport was initiated 7 miles west of Wixted Airport, with the aircraft descending to an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on runway 03 at Topeka Regional Airport, with a touchdown speed of 111 knots, slightly above the recommended threshold speed. The touchdown point was 535 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 65 feet from the centerline. The total landing distance was 4,274 feet, representing 61% of the available runway. Following a 2-minute taxi to the parking area, the aircraft completed its journey, having traveled a total distance of 567 nautical miles in 80 minutes, with no fuel consumption reported.
The aircraft, C750, successfully completed a landing on runway 03 at KFOE Topeka Regional Airport, achieving a score of 87.2%. The final approach from the south west, heading 40.0° at 4 nm and 1,294 ft above ground level, was characterized by good approach quality. The threshold height was satisfactory, allowing the pilot to maintain a good threshold speed of 119 kt.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft touched down 535 ft beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 111 kt, which was slightly above the optimal range. However, the touchdown rate of -185 fpm was good, indicating a controlled descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 65 ft from the centreline, which would require correction during the rollout phase. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a light wind of 2 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively calm environment.
The total landing distance of 4,274 ft, accounting for 61% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 71 ft from the centreline, indicating a need for correction during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was satisfactory, there were opportunities for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and runway alignment.
