Keep the wings level on final
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.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,135 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 589 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 to the runway, which took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 15 at KBGR Bangor International Airport. The takeoff distance was 487 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 110 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -18°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 240°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KBGR Bangor International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,162 feet above sea level to 23,061 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,898 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started overhead Belfast, Maine, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 23,280 feet above sea level to 37,945 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,665 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 43 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 3 miles north of Woolwich, Maine, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering 72 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northeast of Newfields, New Hampshire. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 38,073 feet above sea level to 14,803 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,270 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 74 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile northeast of Southbridge, Massachusetts, and lasted for 21 minutes, covering 83 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute descent, this time from 14,870 feet above sea level to 1,001 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,869 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport was then initiated from the northeast, with a heading of 219.0° at 2 nautical miles and 953 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 22 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 243 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 87 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -231 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -5°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 290°.
The total landing distance was 945 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 334 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 89 minutes. The aircraft used 816 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, achieving a score of 93.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northeast, heading 219.0° at 2 nautical miles and 953 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 22, which has a length of 2,135 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 100 knots. The touchdown point was 243 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 87 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -231 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more gently.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's alignment. The local weather conditions were not particularly challenging, with a temperature of -5°C and a wind of 9 knots at 290°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 945 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
