Slow down earlier
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: 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 6,974 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 470 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 09 at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,998 feet, which was 46% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 50°F and winds of 10 knots at 40°. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the headwind was 7 knots. After departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead Sugar Grove, Illinois, and climbing from 1,711 feet above sea level to 19,423 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,712 feet in 7 minutes, covering 39 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 2 miles northeast of Near North Side, Illinois, and lasted 55 minutes, covering 461 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles east of CYQE Nicholson Island Private Airstrip in Quinte West, Ontario, Canada, and descending from 19,431 feet above sea level to 3,721 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,710 feet in 9 minutes, covering 51 nautical miles.
The enroute descent was followed by another level cruise, which started 6 miles west of Sackets Harbor, New York, and lasted 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 8 miles southwest of Cape Vincent, New York, and descending from 3,754 feet above sea level to 1,611 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,143 feet in 3 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at KART Watertown International Airport was made from the west, heading 93.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10, which had a length of 6,974 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was a little below target at 106 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 462 feet, and the touchdown speed was 107 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -268 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 55 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 45°F and winds of 10 knots at 260°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,217 feet, which was 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 57 feet from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 577 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 87 minutes, with no fuel consumption.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KART Watertown International Airport, achieving a score of 91.2%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 93.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 10, which has a length of 6,974 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 106 knots. However, the touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 462 feet. The touchdown speed of 107 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown rate of -268 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.
One notable issue with the landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 55 feet off the centreline. This could have been due to a variety of factors, including wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing included a temperature of 45°F and winds of 10 knots at 260°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, but the tailwind component was 10 knots, which could have contributed to the misalignment.
The total landing distance was 2,217 feet, which is 32% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was brought down smoothly and efficiently. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 57 feet from the centreline, which could have been a result of the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown misalignment.
Overall, while there were some issues with the landing, Aircraft C750 was able to achieve a good score of 91.2%. The pilots demonstrated good control and smoothness during the landing, but could benefit from further training to improve their alignment and touchdown rates.
