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.
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,004 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,490 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Cessna Longitude began with a taxi from the parking area to the runway at KSAC Sacramento Executive, which took 6 minutes to cover 1 nm. The departure roll took place on runway 02, with a takeoff distance of 3,153 ft, which was 57% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 144 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 79 °F, with a wind of 11 kn at 339 °, resulting in a crosswind of 9 kn and a headwind of 7 kn.
The enroute climb started 1 mile west of Fruitridge Pocket (California, United States), climbing from 1,054 ft asl to 40,186 ft asl, covering 102 nm in 14 minutes. The next level cruise segment began 7 miles southeast of Spanish Springs (Nevada, United States) and lasted 31 minutes, covering 1,085 nm.
Another enroute climb commenced 3 miles northeast of Marcus (Iowa, United States), increasing altitude from 39,494 ft asl to 41,606 ft asl, covering 78 nm in 2 minutes. This was followed by another level cruise segment starting 2 miles southeast of 1IA9 Newbrough Britt (Iowa, United States), lasting 75 minutes and covering 1,015 nm.
The descent phase of the flight began 2 miles southeast of New Castle (New Hampshire, United States), descending from 40,957 ft asl to 2,201 ft asl in 5 minutes, covering 75 nm. A go-around maneuver was performed on runway 05 at KSFZ North Central State at 442 ft agl before eventually landing on the same runway, which had a length of 5,004 ft. The height at threshold was 39 ft agl, with a speed of 109 kn. The touchdown occurred 2,486 ft from the threshold with a touchdown speed of 90 kn and a vertical speed indicator reading of -155 ft/m.
The total landing distance was 4,100 ft, which was 82% of the runway length. After landing, taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute to cover less than 1 nm. The total flight distance covered was 2,360 nm over a duration of 137 minutes, consuming 12,089 lbs of fuel.
First and foremost, congratulations on achieving a high aircraft landing score of 90.9%! That is a commendable achievement and speaks to your skills as a pilot.
Let's delve into the details of your landing performance to see where you excelled and where there is room for improvement. During the Approach Phase, it is excellent to hear that you had a good glideslope alignment, which is crucial for a smooth and safe landing. Additionally, having your speed slightly below target is preferable as it allows for better control and maneuverability during the landing process.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is worth noting that having a good threshold height indicates that you were able to gauge the altitude accurately before initiating the landing. However, the poor landing flare and bank angle stability during landing are areas that can be worked on. A proper landing flare helps in cushioning the impact on touchdown, while maintaining bank angle stability ensures a steady and controlled landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, it is positive to see that your touchdown rate was good and your speed was on target. However, using more than 50% of the available runway for touchdown indicates that there might have been room for improvement in terms of touchdown point selection and precision. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being 17 ft from the centerline highlights the need for better alignment and positioning during touchdown.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, having the runway alignment 14 ft from the centerline shows a slight deviation that can be improved upon to ensure a more precise landing.
Overall, your landing performance shows a strong foundation with areas that can be fine-tuned to further enhance your skills. Keep up the good work and continue to practice and refine your techniques to strive for even higher landing scores in the future. Your dedication to improvement is commendable, and with continued effort, you are sure to reach new heights in your aviation journey. Well done on your impressive landing score!
