Hold the approach angle
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.
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 10,014 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,820 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 36L at KGLH Mid Delta Regional Airport. The aircraft, a C750, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 2,935 feet, which was 42% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 143 knots, marking the start of the takeoff phase.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting approximately 1 mile north of KGLH. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from 1,147 feet above sea level to 15,630 feet above sea level, a total increase of 14,483 feet, in just 8 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 37 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles east of Gould, Arkansas. This phase lasted for 29 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 216 nautical miles. The cruise phase was a stable and efficient segment of the flight, allowing the aircraft to maintain a steady altitude and speed.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles south of Rose, Oklahoma. The descent was steep, with the aircraft descending from 15,617 feet above sea level to 1,918 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 13,699 feet, in just 11 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 42 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18L at KTUL Tulsa International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 183.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which was 10,014 feet long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also good, at 122 knots.
However, the touchdown point was 397 feet beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed was a little fast, at 111 knots, but the touchdown rate was good, at -178 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, by 31 feet from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 4,336 feet, which was 43% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, by 33 feet from the centreline. Despite these minor issues, the landing was completed safely, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 302 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 111 pounds of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KTUL Tulsa International Airport on runway 18L, achieving a score of 90.9%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 122 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 397 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. The touchdown speed of 111 knots was a bit faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute (fpm) was within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 31 feet from the centreline, which may have contributed to the slightly off-target touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 81°F and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 160°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The total landing distance of 4,336 feet was 43% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient room to stop safely. Nevertheless, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline, which may require further attention to ensure precise control during the landing phase.
Overall, while Aircraft C750's landing was satisfactory, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and runway alignment. With some adjustments to the approach and landing technique, the aircraft can achieve an even higher score and demonstrate more precise control during the landing phase.
