Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed is back to 117 kt before the gate, not after it.
What happened: Speed control was already loose at the stabilisation gate, and this flight crossed the threshold at 135 kt against a target of 117 kt, 18 kt fast. Carrying excess speed into the gate like this usually carries straight through to a fast threshold crossing.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 117 kt by the gate and held to 117 kt at the threshold.
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 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: centreline 6.1° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 2.6° off, against a 1° limit and speed 19 kt FAST on the reference speed of 117 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,830 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 458 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Cessna Citation X, registered as M-EGWD, began its departure roll on runway 17R, utilizing 31% of the available runway length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 147 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 30°C, with a 5-knot headwind and a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, which began overhead KDFW. The aircraft ascended from 1,517 feet above sea level to 44,994 feet, a vertical gain of 43,478 feet, in 25 minutes and covering a distance of 172 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 1,510 minutes and spanned 1,093 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced 5 miles southeast of Canton, Pennsylvania, and saw the aircraft descend from 44,659 feet to 1,327 feet in 22 minutes and covering 139 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at KTEB Teterboro Airport was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 217.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,313 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 136 knots, which was above the target value. The touchdown distance was 458 meters, and the touchdown speed was 124 knots, both of which were considered good. The total landing distance was 966 meters, accounting for 53% of the available runway length. Following a perfect runway rollout alignment, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,413 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 187 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,713 kilograms.
The Cessna Citation X, registered as M-EGWD, successfully completed a landing on runway 24 at KTEB Teterboro Airport from the north east, aligning with the heading of 217.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,313 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height allowing for a precise touchdown. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, reaching 136 knots.
As the aircraft touched down, it demonstrated good touchdown characteristics, with a speed of 124 knots and a rate of descent of -199 feet per minute. The touchdown distance of 458 meters was also within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 0 knots, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment along the centreline of the runway. The total landing distance of 966 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing performance of M-EGWD was exceptional, with a score of 99.8% reflecting the high level of skill and precision displayed by the pilot.
