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.
Side view — the last 4,789 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 4,789 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,171 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 to the runway, which took 28 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 22R at KLIT Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field. The takeoff distance was 1,917 feet, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 101 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 67°F and winds of 9 knots at 249°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of College Station, Arkansas. The climb took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,242 feet above sea level to 4,484 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,242 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 4 miles northwest of 3AR6 Crystal Ridge Airport Little Rock, Arkansas. This cruise lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles southeast of Oppelo, Arkansas. The descent took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 21 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 4,035 feet above sea level to 2,378 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,657 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 7 miles east of Hector, Arkansas. This cruise lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 5 miles north of Wilson, Arkansas. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 2,395 feet above sea level to 1,596 feet above sea level, a decrease of 800 feet.
The final approach to runway 25 at KRUE Russellville Regional Airport was made from the east, heading 256.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,230 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 25, which had a length of 4,789 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 90 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,172 feet, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 75 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -139 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 63°F and winds of 3 knots at 189°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 2,261 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 79 nautical miles, and the flight took 31 minutes. The aircraft used 349 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at KRUE Russellville Regional Airport, achieving a score of 98.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 256.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,230 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 25, which has a length of 4,789 feet.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly higher than desired at 90 knots. This may be attributed to the aircraft's approach speed or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed during the final stages of the approach.
The touchdown distance of 1,172 feet was considered good, indicating that the aircraft maintained control and stability during the landing. The touchdown speed of 75 knots was slightly faster than the desired speed, which may have contributed to a slightly longer rollout distance. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -139 feet per minute (fpm) was reported as smooth, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was well-controlled.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 189°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 2,261 feet was 47% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft maintained control and stability during the rollout phase. The runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes and control surfaces were functioning correctly.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at KRUE Russellville Regional Airport was a successful one, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 98.0%. The pilots demonstrated good control and stability during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases, and the aircraft's systems performed well in the given weather conditions.
