Arrival
Add power on final to hold 118 kt across the threshold.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 105 kt, 13 kt below VREF, and low energy like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown at 257 fpm.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 118 kt at the threshold
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 53 kt FAST on the reference speed of 118 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 20 kt FAST on the reference speed of 118 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 6,009 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 175 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing McGhee Tyson Airport (KTYS) in Tennessee, the aircraft began its journey on runway 23L, taking off with a liftoff speed of 142 kt after a takeoff distance of 2,692 ft, which accounted for 31% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 62 °F and a gentle headwind of 1 kt, with a crosswind of 1 kt as well.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Alcoa, Tennessee, reaching an altitude of 12,009 ft asl after a vertical gain of 10,060 ft in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nm. The enroute level cruise phase followed, starting 11 miles east of Tellico Plains Muni Madisonville (85TN) and lasting 22 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 148 nm. The descent phase began 4 miles south of Yatesville, Georgia, with the aircraft losing 9,160 ft in altitude in 7 minutes, covering 33 nm. A brief level cruise phase followed overhead Oglethorpe, Georgia, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nm.
The final approach to runway 23 at Jimmy Carter Regional Airport (KACJ) was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 226.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,268 ft agl. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 105 kt, slightly below the target, and a touchdown distance of 172 ft, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 104 kt was also good, but the touchdown rate of -298 fpm was fair. The aircraft landed 16 ft off the centreline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,553 ft, accounting for 26% of the available runway length. After a short taxiing period, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having covered a total distance of 225 nm and consumed 5,391 lbs of fuel in the process, with a total flight time of 41 minutes.
The aircraft, C750, successfully executed a final approach to runway 23 at KACJ Jimmy Carter Regional Airport from the north east, aligning with the heading of 226.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 105 knots. This minor deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 172 feet, with a touchdown speed of 104 knots that was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -298 feet per minute was only fair, indicating a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the approach path or a slight drift during the final stages of the landing. Despite this, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a light wind of 2 knots from 270°, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,553 feet, which accounted for 26% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the landing. Overall, the landing performance of C750 was satisfactory, with a score of 98.1% reflecting the minor deviations from the target speed and touchdown rate.
