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 5,001 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,275 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 18 at KCKM Fletcher Field, with a takeoff distance of 3,003 feet, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. After departing from KCKM Fletcher Field, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of the airfield and climbing from an altitude of 1,158 feet above sea level to 24,634 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,476 feet in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 5 miles southeast of Water Valley, Mississippi, and lasted for 33 minutes, covering a distance of 271 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles south of McDonough, Georgia, and descending from 25,001 feet above sea level to 1,733 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,268 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 91 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at KHQU Thomson-McDuffie County Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 93.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10, which had a length of 5,001 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 114 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,278 feet, and the touchdown speed was 103 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was perfect at 14 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,879 feet, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 419 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 67 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KHQU Thomson-McDuffie County Airport, achieving a high score of 97.2%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 93.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 10, which has a length of 5,001 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 114 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to flare earlier than expected. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 1,278 feet, and the touchdown speed of 103 knots was also within acceptable limits.
One of the key performance metrics for this landing was the touchdown rate, which was reported as perfect at 14 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any excessive deceleration. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or the pilot's decision to touch down slightly off-centre.
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°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 2,879 feet, which is 58% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the approach and landing phases.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centreline after touchdown and during the rollout phase. Overall, this landing was a successful one, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
