Be on speed by the gate
Next time
Adjust power to bring the approach speed onto 122 kt and hold it through the gates.
What happened: The approach speed deviated from the target through the stabilisation gates. This kind of deviation usually carries through to an unstable threshold crossing.
Watch for: Watch the airspeed indicator against 122 kt.
Departure
Rotate the moment the speed tape reaches 125 kt, not after it.
What happened: Rotation was held until 140 kt, 15 kt past the 125 kt rotation target. Carrying that much extra speed into rotation usually adds unwanted energy right at liftoff.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 82 kt FAST on the reference speed of 122 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 33 kt FAST on the reference speed of 122 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,536 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 863 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Citation 750 taxied from the parking area to runway 18 at KMYR Myrtle Beach International Airport in 5 minutes, covering approximately 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 18, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 141 kt and became airborne after a ground run of 2,657 ft, representing 28 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 82 °F with a wind of 6 kt from 250°, a cross-wind component of 6 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced immediately after liftoff, with the aircraft climbing from 1,004 ft asl to 29,912 ft asl-a gain of 28,908 ft-over 13 minutes while covering 82 nm.
The first cruise segment began overhead Gibson, North Carolina, and lasted 47 minutes for a distance of 415 nm; a second cruise phase started 2 nm north-west of Livonia, Michigan, lasting 2 minutes and adding 7 nm to the flight.
Descent was initiated 1 mile north of Collins, Ohio, with the aircraft descending from 29,909 ft asl to 2,842 ft asl, a loss of 27,066 ft in 16 minutes while traversing 92 nm.
Final approach to runway 23 at KYIP Willow Run Airport was flown from the north-east on a heading of 227.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 998 ft agl.
Touchdown occurred on runway 23 with a threshold speed of 108 kt, a touchdown distance of 863 ft, a touchdown speed of 102 kt and a vertical speed of minus 191 fpm; the touchdown point was 33 ft off the centreline.
Runway rollout measured a total landing distance of 2,727 ft (36 % of the runway) and the aircraft’s alignment during rollout was offset by 35 ft from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 603 nm, required 87 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 285 lb of fuel.
The C750 entered the final approach to runway 23 at KYIP Willow Run Airport from the north-east, tracking a heading of 227.0° at 4 nm and 998 ft agl while the ambient temperature was 59 °F and the wind was 1 kt from 270°, providing a 1 kt headwind and 1 kt crosswind component.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good height and reduced speed to 108 kt, which the data notes was a little below the target speed for the flare.
Touchdown occurred 863 ft down the runway at a speed of 102 kt and a vertical rate of -191 fpm, both described as good; however, the touchdown point was offset 33 ft from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total distance of 2,727 ft, representing 36 % of the 7,536-ft runway, and the aircraft’s alignment during rollout was slightly off centreline by 35 ft.
To tighten lateral control, aim to keep touchdown and rollout deviations within a few feet of the centreline, and adjust the final-approach speed to meet the target more closely. Minor refinements in these areas will help convert the already strong 95.7 % score into an even tighter performance.
