Slow down earlier
See Arrival Final 1
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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and 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 5,009 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 163 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 27 at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,921 feet, which is 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 2 knots was present. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead IL38 J Maddock Airport in Big Rock, Illinois, and ascended from an altitude of 1,742 feet above sea level to 20,020 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,278 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north of KVYS Illinois Valley Regional Airport in Peru, Illinois, and lasted for 36 minutes, covering a distance of 240 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles northeast of Versailles, Missouri, and descended from an altitude of 19,851 feet above sea level to 3,041 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,810 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise was restarted 7 miles southeast of Deepwater, Missouri, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 36 at KGLY Clinton Memorial Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 2.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,241 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 36 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 157 feet and a touchdown speed of 87 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -427 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 32 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and no headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,739 feet, which is 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 25 feet from the centerline. 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 335 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 70 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KGLY Clinton Memorial Airport, achieving an overall score of 84.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 2.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,241 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, maintaining a good threshold height and achieving a threshold speed of 88 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 157 feet and a touchdown speed of 87 knots. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard, registering at -427 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 32 feet, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was negligible at 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,739 feet was within the acceptable range, accounting for 35% of the runway length.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centreline by 25 feet. This minor deviation may have been a result of the initial touchdown position being slightly off-centreline. Despite this, the pilot successfully brought the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance, demonstrating good control and handling skills.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and handling skills throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway alignment.
