Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: six checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,202 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 740 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Cessna Citation X aircraft, registered as M-EGWD. The pre-flight taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 26R at KONT Ontario International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,073 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 140 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered favorable local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 300 degrees. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile east of Ontario, California, and reached an altitude of 26,536 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,628 feet from the initial altitude of 1,908 feet. This climb phase took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 82 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 7 miles southeast of Barstow Heights, California. This phase lasted for 60 minutes and covered a distance of 88 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 4 miles southeast of NV42 Heritage Airport Jean, California, and involved a descent from 26,146 feet to 2,273 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,873 feet in 10 minutes and covering 50 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 271.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 157 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 3,202 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good. The threshold speed was 126 knots, and the touchdown point was 319 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 113 knots and a touchdown rate of -42 feet per minute, which was considered perfect.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 4 knots at 199 degrees, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,412 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 10 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 228 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 56 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 851 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Citation X, registered as M-EGWD, successfully landed at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, scoring an impressive 96.5% on its final approach. The aircraft was approaching runway 26L from the east, heading 271.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 157 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's decision to land on runway 26L, which has a length of 3,202 meters, was a good one, given the favorable conditions.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 126 knots was also met, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown point was 319 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance, and the touchdown speed of 113 knots was slightly below the threshold speed, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The touchdown rate of -42 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft touched down with minimal impact and no bounce. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a stable and aligned approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 199°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 1,412 meters, which is 44% of the runway length, was a good indication of the pilot's skill and control during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable stop at the end of the runway. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
