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 six 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,844 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 714 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 07 at KRPJ Rochelle Municipal Airport - Koritz Field, with a takeoff distance of 2,562 feet, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started enroute climb 1 mile south east of Rochelle, Illinois, and ascended from 1,863 feet above sea level to 7,993 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,130 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began overhead IS47 Willis Airport Sycamore, Illinois, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 60 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile south east of Racine, Wisconsin, and descended from 8,007 feet above sea level to 1,917 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,090 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25L at KMKE General Mitchell International Airport was made from the east, heading 252.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,172 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 25L at KMKE General Mitchell International Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 717 feet, which was good, and a touchdown speed of 105 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was firm at -329 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 34 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 38 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 2,143 feet, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 104 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 29 minutes, with no fuel consumption.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KMKE General Mitchell International Airport on runway 25L, achieving a score of 93.9%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 252.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,172 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 110 knots, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 717 feet was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 105 knots was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate of -329 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, which may indicate a slightly steeper descent than intended.
One notable aspect of the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 34 feet. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was minimal at 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 2,143 feet was within 27% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 38 feet from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have drifted off-center during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
