Slow the descent speed
See Enroute Descent
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 638 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 35R at the Decimomannu Air Base, with a takeoff distance of 1,014 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and wind speeds of 12 knots at 319 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 10 knots. After departing from the air base, the enroute climb started approximately 1 mile east of Serramanna, Italy. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,136 feet above sea level to 18,002 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,866 feet, in just 6 minutes and covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the enroute level cruise began 2 miles west of Ruinas, Italy, and lasted for 29 minutes, covering a distance of 187 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 40 miles east of Es Castell, Spain, and descended from 18,003 feet above sea level to 1,592 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,411 feet, in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 19 at Menorca Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 189.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 19, which had a length of 2,357 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 124 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 115 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -217 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total landing distance was 1,201 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 282 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 59 minutes. The aircraft used 995 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at LEMH Menorca Airport, achieving a score of 97.4%. The final approach to runway 19 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 189.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 124 knots being considered good. However, the touchdown point was located 215 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft could have been slightly ahead of the optimal touchdown position. The touchdown speed of 115 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to the aircraft's position beyond the touchdown zone.
The aircraft's descent rate was fair, with a rate of -217 feet per minute (fpm) being recorded. This is a relatively moderate rate, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 180°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, with the headwind component helping to slow the aircraft's approach speed.
The total landing distance was 1,201 meters, which represents 51% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 97.4%. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown point and touchdown speed, which may be areas for improvement in future landings.
