Slow down earlier
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,820 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,530 ft 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 06 at KERI Erie International Tom Ridge Field, with a takeoff distance of 2,353 feet, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 143 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of KERI Erie International Tom Ridge Field, and climbed from an altitude of 2,159 feet above sea level to 15,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,849 feet, in 6 minutes and covering 33 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles northeast of Cochranton, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 31 minutes, covering a distance of 220 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 4 miles north of VA65 Ivy Hill Airport Lynchburg, Virginia, and involved a descent from 15,002 feet above sea level to 1,905 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,097 feet, in 11 minutes and covering 52 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at KCHO Charlottesville Albemarle Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 22.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 03 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,523 feet, which was 50% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 109 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -281 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 68 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 67 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 3,441 feet, and the taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 311 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 53 minutes, with no fuel consumption reported.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at Charlottesville Albemarle Airport (KCHO) on runway 03, achieving an overall score of 88.5%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 22.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control during the approach, with a threshold height that met the required standards.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 117 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. However, the touchdown speed of 109 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating a potential need for adjustments in the approach configuration. The touchdown rate of -281 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.
One notable issue during the landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 68 feet off the centreline. This could have been due to various factors, including wind conditions or pilot error. The local weather at the time of the landing was characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 3,441 feet was 50% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient space to come to a stop. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 67 feet from the centreline, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced some difficulties in maintaining a straight path during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and runway alignment. With adjustments to the approach configuration and landing technique, the pilot of Aircraft C750 can work towards achieving a more precise and controlled landing.
