See Arrival Approach
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 seven 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: centreline 1.4° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 4.3° against the runway's 3°.

Side view — the last 1,348 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,348 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 239 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Jackson Hole Airport in Jackson, Wyoming, the aircraft began its journey on runway 19, taking off with a distance of 950 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 119 knots, overcoming a crosswind of 19 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 289 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it traversed a significant distance, increasing its altitude by 35,535 feet in just 18 minutes, covering 126 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 45 minutes and covered 348 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, initially reducing its altitude by 4,852 feet in 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise phase, which lasted for 20 minutes and covered 147 nautical miles. The aircraft continued its descent, eventually reducing its altitude by 26,127 feet in 12 minutes, covering 71 nautical miles. The final descent phase saw the aircraft reduce its altitude by 10,779 feet in 9 minutes, covering 31 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25 at Jack Northrop Field Hawthorne Municipal Airport, aligning itself with the runway from the east. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 115 knots, and a touchdown distance of 240 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 105 knots, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 2 minutes. The total flight distance was 748 nautical miles, taking 125 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,711 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Cessna Longitude touched down on runway 25 at KHHR Jack Northrop Field Hawthorne Municipal Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the pilot to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 115 kt, but the aircraft's performance was still within acceptable limits. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it did so at a speed of 105 kt, which was a little fast, but the touchdown distance of 240 m was good.
The touchdown rate of -228 fpm was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and a headwind of 13 kt, contributed to a smooth landing. The aircraft's performance was further enhanced by the minimal crosswind of 3 kt.
The total landing distance of 833 m was 78% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.5 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the aircraft's speed or the pilot's control inputs. Despite this, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, earning a score of 90.5%.
