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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,895 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 901 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began at Crater Lake-Klamath Regional Airport, where the aircraft taxied for 8 minutes to reach the runway for departure. As it was a short taxi, the flight covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft took off from runway 14 at KLMT with a takeoff distance of 3,283 feet, which was 32% of the runway.
The conditions on the day of departure were generally calm, with a temperature of 56°F and a 3 kt wind at a direction of 225°. However, a small headwind of 1 kt and a negligible crosswind of 3 kt were present.
Once airborne, the aircraft initiated its enroute climb, starting 2 miles southeast of KLMT, and reached an altitude of 43,006 feet. Throughout the climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 75 nautical miles in 16 minutes.
Upon reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft transitioned into an enroute level cruise from 9 miles southeast of Crescent Lake State Airport, where it remained for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 126 nautical miles.
After completing its enroute cruise, the aircraft initiated its descent to begin the final approach. This took place 5 miles east of Lehman Field. The descent, which covered a distance of 121 nautical miles in 26 minutes, saw the aircraft plummet from an altitude of 42,977 feet to 1,683 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 16L at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport was conducted from the north, heading in a direction of 178°, with the aircraft at an altitude of 1,237 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles away from the runway.
Landing on runway 16L, which was 11,895 feet long, was successful. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 106 kt and at a distance of 897 feet, which represented just 16% of the runway. The touch down rate was, however, very hard, standing in at -572 fpm.
Taxiing to the parking post landing took 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft used a total of 2,016 pounds of fuel and flew a total of 331 nautical miles over the duration of 1 hour and 5 minutes. The conditions on the day of landing were also calm, with a temperature of 69°F and a gentle wind at 3 kt, blowing from the same direction of 225°, along with a negligible headwind of 2 kt and a minor crosswind of 2 kt.
Aircraft C750 successfully executed a landing at Runway 16L at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (KSEA) from the north, demonstrating a high level of proficiency. With a final approach heading of 178.0° and at an altitude of 1,237 feet above ground level (agl), the aircraft maintained a safe distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
During landing, the aircraft slightly exceeded the target height of 60 feet agl, but the landing still proceeded smoothly. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 109 knots, which required the crew to make slight adjustments to ensure a stable approach. The touchdown speed of 106 knots was within the acceptable range, and the actual touchdown distance of 897 feet was considered good, resulting in minimal rollout time.
Notably, the aircraft experienced a very hard touchdown rate of -572 feet per minute (fpm), which indicates that the aircraft's speed was high upon landing. Despite this, the rollout alignment on the runway was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and coordination from the crew.
Weather conditions during landing were favorable, with a temperature of 69°F and winds at 3 knots from 225°. Although a slight crosswind of 2 knots was present, it was minimal, and the headwind of 2 knots aided in stabilization of the aircraft. Overall, Aircraft C750's landing performance at KSEA was impressive, scoring 95.0% and showcasing a high level of skill and safety awareness from the crew.
