Slow the descent 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 12,791 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,113 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 35 at KBVO Bartlesville Municipal Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,696 feet, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 14 knots at 0°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of KBVO Bartlesville Municipal Airport. The climb took 3 minutes and covered 13 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,705 feet above sea level to 9,865 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,160 feet. The enroute level cruise then started 2 miles west of Caney, Kansas, and lasted for 17 minutes, covering 93 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent 4 miles south of 53K Osage City Municipal Airport, descending from 9,439 feet above sea level to 2,972 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,468 feet in 5 minutes and covering 19 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise started 2 miles northeast of Overbrook, Kansas, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The final enroute descent began 3 miles southeast of 2KS9 Starshire Farm Airport, descending from 2,838 feet above sea level to 2,168 feet above sea level, a decrease of 670 feet in 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at KFOE Topeka Regional Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 317.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,095 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 31, which had a length of 12,791 feet. The threshold height at 55 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 113 knots.
The touchdown point was 743 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 98 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -148 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 52°F and a wind speed of 21 knots at 310°.
The total landing distance was 3,069 feet, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 138 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 35 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KFOE Topeka Regional Airport, achieving a score of 92.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 317.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,095 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 31, which has a length of 12,791 feet.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 743 feet beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown point. The touchdown speed of 98 knots was slightly higher than the target speed, contributing to the deviation from the ideal touchdown point. However, the touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -148 feet per minute (fpm).
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 52°F and a wind speed of 21 knots from a direction of 310°. This resulted in a headwind component of 21 knots, which was beneficial for the landing. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 knots.
The aircraft's performance during the landing was generally good, with a very good runway touchdown alignment and a smooth rollout alignment. However, the threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was too high. These minor deviations did not significantly impact the overall performance of the aircraft, and the landing was considered successful.
The total landing distance was 3,069 feet, which is 24% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance, and the landing was not excessively long. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 92.4% reflecting the minor deviations from the ideal performance.
