Hold the approach speed
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 3,680 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 289 m touchdown sits inside 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 24 at UNBB Barnaul Airport in Barnaul, Russia. The takeoff distance was 583 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 124 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -17°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 200°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead UNBB Barnaul Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,831 feet above sea level to 16,923 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,092 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 7 miles north of Pavlovsk, Russia, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 57 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 24 miles east of Krutikha, Russia, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 17,356 feet above sea level to 5,578 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,778 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 68 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began again 17 miles northwest of UNNT Novosibirsk Tolmachevo Airport in Novosibirsk, Russia, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.
The final enroute descent started 1 mile northeast of Kolyvan', Russia, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 5,549 feet above sea level to 2,796 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,753 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began once more 4 miles south of Kolyvan', Russia, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16 at UNNT Novosibirsk Tolmachevo Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 168.0° at an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 16, which had a length of 3,680 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 102 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 287 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 93 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -359 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -10°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 220°. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,234 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 188 nautical miles, and the flight took 59 minutes, using 653 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at UNNT Novosibirsk Tolmachevo Airport, with a final approach score of 89.6%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 168.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for a landing on runway 16, which has a length of 3,680 meters.
The pilot executed a good final approach, with a threshold height that was satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 102 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 287 meters, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The touchdown speed of 93 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -359 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were cold, with a temperature of -10°C, and a moderate wind blowing at 9 knots from a direction of 220°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot was able to maintain a steady course and execute a smooth landing.
The total landing distance was 1,234 meters, which is 34% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively and maintain control during the landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centreline, which may indicate that the pilot could have done a better job of aligning the aircraft with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the pilot executed a good landing, despite some minor issues with the threshold speed and touchdown speed. The aircraft was under control throughout the landing, and the pilot was able to maintain a steady course despite challenging weather conditions.
