Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 126 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 118 kt against a VREF of 126 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 126 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
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 38 kt FAST on the reference speed of 126 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 10 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 126 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 9,820 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 874 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 750 Citation X taxied from the parking area to runway 34 at UHPP Yelizovo Airport, a movement that lasted 15 minutes and covered 8 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 34, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 134 kt and became airborne after a takeoff distance of 3,696 ft, representing 32 % of the runway. Local weather at the time was a temperature of 68 °F, wind 6 kt from 287°, with a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile east of Yelizovo, with the aircraft ascending from 1,190 ft asl to 44,010 ft asl, an increase of 42,820 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 124 nm.
The first level cruise began 56 nm south-west of UPAT Paratunka Airport and continued for 75 minutes, during which 598 nm were flown.
Descent started 85 nm north of Abashiri, Japan, with altitude decreasing from 43,993 ft asl to 14,350 ft asl, a loss of 29,642 ft completed in 20 minutes over a distance of 145 nm.
A second cruise segment was initiated 3 nm south of RJEC Asahikawa Airport, lasting 5 minutes and covering 27 nm.
The subsequent descent began 12 nm south-east of Bibai, descending from 13,990 ft asl to 1,190 ft asl, a reduction of 12,801 ft accomplished in 6 minutes across 30 nm.
Final approach to runway 18L at RJCC New Chitose Airport was conducted from the north, on a heading of 173.0° at 4 nm and 1,120 ft agl.
Landing on runway 18L, which is 9,820 ft long, was executed with a threshold speed of 118 kt. Touchdown occurred at 869 ft down the runway with a speed of 116 kt, a firm touchdown rate of minus 383 fpm, and a lateral deviation of 19 ft from the centreline. Local conditions were a temperature of 75 °F, wind 17 kt from 170°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 17 kt head-wind. The total landing distance recorded was 2,227 ft, representing 23 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 938 nm, required 146 minutes, and consumed 3 lbs of fuel.
The Cessna 750 Citation X entered the final approach to runway 18L at RJCC New Chitose Airport from the north on a heading of 173.0° at 4 nm and 1,120 ft AGL, with a temperature of 75 °F, wind 17 kt from 170°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 17 kt head-wind component.
The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 118 kt.
Touchdown occurred 869 ft down the runway, with a touchdown speed of 116 kt that was a little fast, a firm touchdown rate of minus 383 fpm, and a runway touchdown position slightly misaligned by 19 ft from the centreline; the total landing distance was 2,227 ft, representing 23 % of the 9,820 ft runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good.
Minor refinements should focus on reducing touchdown speed closer to the target and moderating the flare to achieve a less firm rate, which will further improve alignment consistency.
