Hold the approach angle
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 4,627 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 4,627 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,505 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 23 at KSFZ North Central State Airport, with a takeoff distance of 3,423 feet, which was 68% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 92°F temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 258°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 7 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of KSFZ, where the aircraft climbed from 1,239 feet above sea level to 39,560 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,321 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Sunnyside, New York, and lasted for 153 minutes, covering a distance of 1,256 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 7 miles south of Plains, Kansas, where it climbed from 39,483 feet above sea level to 41,521 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,039 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles northeast of Liberal, Kansas, and lasted for 62 minutes, covering a distance of 499 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 4 miles east of Cibecue Airport, Arizona, where it climbed from 41,291 feet above sea level to 43,143 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,852 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 15 miles northeast of Grapevine Airstrip, Arizona, and lasted for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 179 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 6 miles northwest of Wellton, Arizona, where it descended from 43,167 feet above sea level to 1,985 feet above sea level, a decrease of 41,182 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 135 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27R at KSEE Gillespie Field was from the east, with a heading of 283.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,612 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 27R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,501 feet, which was good, and a touchdown speed of 116 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -415 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 79°F temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were 2 and 7 knots, respectively. The total landing distance was 3,225 feet, which was 70% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,243 nautical miles, which was covered in 295 minutes, and the aircraft used 10,017 pounds of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KSEE Gillespie Field, achieving a score of 97.3%. The final approach to runway 27R was conducted from the east, with a heading of 283.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,612 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 124 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage airspeed during the landing. However, the touchdown speed of 116 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a harder-than-ideal touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -415 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a bit too much force. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment throughout the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F and a gentle headwind of 7 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, which further contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 3,225 feet was 70% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and rate to achieve a more ideal landing.
