Reduce your height at the threshold
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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 500 ft gate: speed 18 kt FAST on the reference speed of 109 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 7,392 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,262 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KJBR Jonesboro Municipal Airport took approximately 3 minutes, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 05, utilizing 2,242 feet, or 36% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 143 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 63°F, with a light wind of 2 knots from a direction of 270°.
As the aircraft climbed away from KJBR, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile northeast of the airport, rising from an initial altitude of 1,130 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 20,009 feet, an increase of 18,879 feet over a distance of 50 nautical miles in 9 minutes. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 2 miles northwest of TN36 Flying I Ranch Airport, lasting 22 minutes and covering a distance of 172 nautical miles. Subsequently, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent 2 miles east of Manchester, Tennessee, and descended from 19,766 feet to 1,846 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,919 feet over a distance of 60 nautical miles in 12 minutes.
The final approach to runway 20 at KCHA Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field) was conducted from the north, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 197.0° at an altitude of 1,159 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed on a runway length of 7,404 feet, with the threshold height at 68 feet above ground level being above the target. The touchdown point was 873 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 106 knots and a touchdown rate of -260 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 20 feet from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took less than 1 minute, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 288 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 47 minutes and a fuel consumption of 0 pounds.
The final approach to runway 20 at KCHA Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field) was executed from the north, with an initial heading of 197.0° at 4 nm and 1,159 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the threshold height at 68 ft agl being above the target. However, the threshold speed was good at 114 kt, indicating a well-controlled descent.
As the aircraft touched down, the touchdown point was 873 ft beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 106 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -260 fpm was fair, suggesting a slightly steeper descent than ideal. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 20 ft from the centreline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. Local weather conditions were favourable, with a temperature of 59°F and a light headwind of 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 4,086 ft was 55% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing performance of Aircraft C750 was satisfactory, with a score of 88.9%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal, the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
