Be on speed by the gate
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: speed 38 kt FAST on the reference speed of 114 kt.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,847 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 883 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Topeka Regional Airport (KFOE), the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 8 minutes to cover the 2-nautical-mile distance. Upon reaching runway 21, the departure roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground after a takeoff distance of 2,547 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 141 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 61°F, with a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°.
As the aircraft climbed away from KFOE, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of the airport, ascending from 1,930 feet above sea level to 24,950 feet, a vertical increase of 23,020 feet, in 9 minutes and covering 53 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started 3 miles northeast of Edwardsville Airport (KEDA), where the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 40 minutes, covering a distance of 336 nautical miles. Subsequently, the enroute descent phase began overhead Marengo, Illinois, where the aircraft descended from 25,001 feet to 1,840 feet, a decrease of 23,161 feet, in 15 minutes and covering 84 nautical miles.
Upon reaching General Mitchell International Airport (KMKE), the aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 25L from the east, maintaining a heading of 252.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,097 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly below the target at 110 knots, and the touchdown distance was 883 feet, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed was 105 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -268 feet per minute. The aircraft landed 24 feet off the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute to cover the short distance. The total flight distance was 480 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 6,449 pounds of fuel during the 72-minute flight.
The aircraft, C750, successfully executed a final approach to runway 25L at KMKE General Mitchell International Airport from the east, aligning with the heading of 252.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,097 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height allowing for a controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 110 knots, indicating a slight delay in the touchdown process.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good control, with a touchdown distance of 883 feet and a touchdown speed of 105 knots. Although the touchdown rate of -268 feet per minute was fair, it was still within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 24 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle headwind of 2 knots, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft staying very close to the centreline. The total landing distance of 2,349 feet, which accounted for 30% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was deemed satisfactory, with a score of 96.5%. The minor deviations in threshold speed and touchdown position did not significantly impact the overall performance, and the aircraft's ability to maintain control and alignment during the rollout phase was commendable.
