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.

Flight narrative

The flight was conducted on a Cessna Citation X aircraft, which took off from runway 12 at YWLM Newcastle Airport. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll, taking off from runway 12 with a takeoff distance of 742 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 138 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 310 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Williamtown, a location in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,017 feet above sea level to 49,851 feet above sea level, an increase of 48,835 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 182 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 36 minutes and covered a distance of 700 nautical miles.
