Monitor your speed
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,541 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,541 m of the 2,431 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 482 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 24 at Teterboro Airport (KTEB) in New Jersey, United States. The takeoff distance was 519 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 117 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Wood-Ridge, New Jersey, and ascending from 1,046 feet above sea level to 42,586 feet above sea level, an increase of 41,540 feet in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 90 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead NJ81 Free Spirit Airport Vineland, New Jersey, and lasted for 53 minutes, covering a distance of 660 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 72 miles northeast of Cape Canaveral SFS Skid Strip Cocoa Beach, Florida, and descending from 43,658 feet above sea level to 4,092 feet above sea level, a decrease of 39,566 feet in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 133 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile northeast of Juno Beach, Florida, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 4 miles west of The Acreage, Florida, and descending from 4,087 feet above sea level to 3,228 feet above sea level, a decrease of 859 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 5 miles west of Loxahatchee Groves, Florida, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Loxahatchee Groves, Florida, and descending from 3,070 feet above sea level to 1,298 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,773 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10L at Palm Beach International Airport (KPBI) was made from the west, heading 93.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10L, which had a length of 2,431 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 116 knots.
The touchdown point was 58 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 103 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -152 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,452 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 69 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 922 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 111 minutes. The aircraft used 2,207 kilograms of fuel during the
The Cessna Longitude successfully landed on runway 10L at KPBI Palm Beach International Airport, achieving a score of 99.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 93.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 115 kt, registering at 116 kt. However, the touchdown point was 58 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 103 kt was also a bit faster than the desired speed, but the touchdown rate of -152 feet per minute (fpm) was satisfactory.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a gentle wind of 4 kt from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 4 kt. The runway length of 2,431 meters was sufficient for the aircraft to land safely, with the total landing distance covering 60% of the runway.
One notable aspect of the landing was the runway rollout alignment, which was very good. This indicates that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a smooth and stable transition from the landing to the taxiing phase. Overall, the Cessna Longitude's landing on runway 10L at KPBI Palm Beach International Airport was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating good flying skills and adherence to standard operating procedures.
