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 5,005 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 862 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 13 at KFOE Topeka Regional Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,288 feet, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Topeka Regional Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 60°F temperature and a 2-knot wind at 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot. The enroute climb started at an altitude of 2,044 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 24,825 feet, an increase of 22,781 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 60 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles southwest of 7MO6 Mac's Field Plattsburg in Missouri. This phase lasted for 31 minutes and covered a distance of 263 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 24,820 feet above sea level to 2,236 feet, a decrease of 22,584 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed overhead Mundelein in Illinois, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 16 at KPWK Chicago Executive Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 159.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,248 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 16 at KPWK Chicago Executive Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 850 feet, which was good. The touchdown speed was 102 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -306 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 34 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 59°F temperature and a 2-knot wind at 270°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,998 feet, accounting for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 411 nautical miles, taking 64 minutes, and the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KPWK Chicago Executive Airport, achieving a score of 95.2%. The final approach to runway 16 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 159.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,248 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 102 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 850 ft was also considered good. However, the touchdown rate was firm at -306 fpm, indicating a slightly steeper descent than ideal.
The landing was further complicated by a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 34 ft. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 kt from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the tailwind component was 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,998 ft was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, being off-centerline by 33 ft. This may indicate a slight deviation in the aircraft's direction during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some minor issues with alignment and touchdown rate. However, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were sufficient to achieve a high score of 95.2%.
