Slow the descent 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.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,791 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 562 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Cessna CJ4 Citation began with a taxi from the parking area to the runway at RJOO Osaka International Airport. The taxiing took 11 minutes to cover a distance of 3 nm. The departure roll was from runway 32L at the airport. The takeoff distance was 2,101 ft, which was 21% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 146 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 56°F with a wind of 16 kn at 290°, resulting in a crosswind of 7 kn and a headwind of 14 kn.
The enroute climb began over RJOO Osaka International Airport, climbing from 1,080 ft to 24,970 ft. The climb covered a distance of 20 nm and took 7 minutes. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered 38 nm.
The enroute descent started 7 miles northeast of Tonosho, descending from 25,011 ft to 2,134 ft. The descent covered a distance of 64 nm and took 17 minutes. The final approach to runway 28 at RJOA Hiroshima Airport was from the east, heading 270.0° at 3 nm and 1,058 ft above ground level.
The landing on runway 28 at RJOA Hiroshima Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 561 ft and a touchdown speed of 106 kn. The touchdown rate was -208 ft/m, and the total landing distance was 1,527 ft, which was 16% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather at the time of landing was 46°F with a wind of 19 kn at 300°, resulting in a crosswind of 9 kn and a headwind of 16 kn.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nm in 2 minutes. The total flight distance was 129 nm, and the flight took 43 minutes. The aircraft used 856 lbs of fuel during the flight.
Great job on achieving a high aircraft landing score of 99.5%! Let's delve deeper into the different phases of the landing process to understand where there were strengths and areas for potential improvement.
During the Approach Phase, you demonstrated excellent glideslope alignment, indicating precise control of the aircraft's descent path. Your threshold speed of 116 knots was right on target, showing good judgment and adherence to proper landing procedures.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you maintained a good threshold height, ensuring a smooth transition from descent to touchdown. Your landing flare was perfect, indicating a well-timed nose-up attitude to minimize the impact upon touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute was fair, showing decent control of the aircraft's descent speed. Although your touchdown speed of 106 knots was slightly fast, it did not compromise the safety of the landing. The touchdown distance of 561 feet was within acceptable parameters, and your runway touchdown alignment was spot on, showcasing your attention to detail and precision in executing the landing.
Overall, your performance during the landing process was commendable, with strong elements in each phase contributing to the high landing score. Keep up the good work and continue to focus on refining your skills to achieve even higher levels of excellence in future landings. Congratulations on a job well done!
