Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 32 kt FAST on the reference speed of 125 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,492 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 701 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from General Mitchell International Airport (KMKE) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With runway 25L cleared for departure, the aircraft accelerated down the 7,000-foot-long runway, lifting off at a speed of 135 knots after a takeoff distance of 2,108 feet, which represented 27% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 64°F and a gentle headwind of 2 knots from a direction of 270°.
As the aircraft climbed away from KMKE, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 19,986 feet above sea level after an ascent of 18,332 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started approximately 1 mile west of Gurnee, Illinois, and lasted for 47 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 370 nautical miles. The cruise phase was punctuated by a brief descent and subsequent level flight over Fayetteville, Tennessee, before the aircraft began its final descent towards Tullahoma Regional Airport (KTHA) William Northern Field. The descent phase, which started 3 miles south of Castalian Springs, Tennessee, saw the aircraft lose 17,010 feet in altitude in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 70 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached KTHA, it began its final approach to runway 06, aligning itself with the runway from the southwest at a heading of 58.0°. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 107 knots, with a touchdown distance of 698 feet, which was well within the available runway length of 5,491 feet. The touchdown rate was firm at -346 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 491 nautical miles, and the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 75 minutes.
The aircraft, C750, successfully executed a final approach to runway 06 at KTHA Tullahoma Regional Airport William Northern Field from the south west, aligning with the runway at a heading of 58.0° at 4 nm and 1,274 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 110 kt. This slight reduction in speed allowed the aircraft to maintain a stable descent and ensured a smooth touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good characteristics, with a touchdown distance of 698 ft and a touchdown speed of 107 kt. The touchdown rate was firm at -346 fpm, indicating a controlled and stable landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft precisely centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59 °F and a wind of 2 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.
The aircraft's rollout phase was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 2,884 ft, representing 53% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 29 ft from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path. Despite this minor deviation, the overall performance of the aircraft was impressive, earning a score of 96.0%.
