Monitor your 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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,474 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,756 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 10 at KUES Waukesha County Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,936 feet, which is 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. There was no crosswind, but a tailwind of 2 knots was present. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead KUES Waukesha County Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,749 feet above sea level to 7,516 feet above sea level in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 1 mile north of Mukwonago, Wisconsin. This phase of the flight lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 60 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles northwest of IL93 Hendrickson Flying Service Airport in Creston, Illinois. The descent took 5 minutes, during which the aircraft dropped from an altitude of 7,489 feet above sea level to 2,799 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The enroute descent was followed by another level cruise, which started 1 mile northeast of 56LL Wade Airport in Waterman, Illinois. This phase of the flight lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 09 at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport, approaching from the west at a heading of 89.0° and at an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level.
The landing was made on runway 09, which has a length of 6,474 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 117 knots. The touchdown point was 354 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 96 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -212 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. There was no crosswind, but a tailwind of 2 knots was present. The total landing distance was 2,974 feet, which is 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 100 nautical miles and took 35 minutes to complete. Notably, the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 93.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 89.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 09, which has a length of 6,474 feet.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 354 feet beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have slightly overestimated the distance required to stop. The touchdown speed of 96 knots was a bit higher than ideal, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. The touchdown rate of -212 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating that the aircraft was not excessively hard on the landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal at 2 knots. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 46% of the runway length.
