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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,474 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,127 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 18R at KTUL Tulsa International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,299 feet, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 170°. This resulted in a 2-knot crosswind and an 11-knot headwind. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile south of KTUL Tulsa International Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,694 feet above sea level to 20,722 feet above sea level, an increase of 19,028 feet, in 8 minutes and covering 30 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of OK21 Longs Airport. This phase lasted for 57 minutes and covered a distance of 384 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 6 miles northwest of Chillicothe, Illinois, descending from 20,581 feet above sea level to 2,851 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,730 feet, in 10 minutes and covering 56 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 3 miles northeast of 8IS7 Dewey Leland, Illinois, and lasting for 4 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 09 at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 89.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 09 at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport was characterized by a threshold speed that was well above the target at 107 knots. The touchdown point was 721 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 100 knots, which was considered fast. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at -18 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 19 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 200°, resulting in an 11-knot crosswind and a 4-knot tailwind. The total landing distance was 3,558 feet, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 42 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 487 nautical miles and took 85 minutes, using 0 pounds of fuel.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 91.6%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 89.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,264 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 09, which has a length of 6,474 feet.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was above the target at 107 knots. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly high or fast during the approach. The touchdown point was 721 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the aircraft may have been slightly long on the landing. The touchdown speed of 100 knots was also faster than the target speed, which could have contributed to the long touchdown point.
Despite the slightly long touchdown point, the touchdown rate was perfect at -18 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any significant deceleration. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 19 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from 200°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slightly long touchdown point and the misaligned runway touchdown position.
The total landing distance was 3,558 feet, which is 55% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to decelerate quickly after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 42 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the rollout path.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there were some minor deviations from the target parameters. The aircraft's performance was good, and the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a safe stop on the runway. However, there is room for improvement in terms of achieving the target touchdown point and speed.
