Monitor your 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 4,008 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 4,008 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 881 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 area to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 18 at KDRP Delta Regional Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,769 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northwest of Caldwell, Arkansas, and involved a significant ascent from 1,251 feet above sea level to 14,964 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,712 feet in just 6 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles south of Lawrence Field Cherry Valley in Arkansas. This phase lasted for 45 minutes and covered a distance of 245 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 2 miles southwest of White Hall, Illinois, and involved a descent from 14,841 feet above sea level to 1,489 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,352 feet in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 31 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at K06 Greater Beardstown was made from the south, with a heading of 1.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,014 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 36, which had a length of 4,008 feet, was successful, with a threshold height that was good and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 95 knots. The touchdown distance was 871 feet, and the touchdown speed was 87 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -60 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,817 feet, which accounted for 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 296 nautical miles and took 64 minutes, using 2,887 pounds of fuel.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at K06 Greater Beardstown, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 1.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,014 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 4,008 feet and its orientation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 95 knots. This indicates that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's descent effectively. The touchdown distance of 871 feet was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely onto the runway.
The touchdown speed of 87 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -60 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent. This suggests that the pilot applied the correct amount of reverse thrust and braking to bring the aircraft to a safe stop. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained the aircraft's heading and orientation during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,817 feet was 45% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and applied the correct amount of braking to bring the aircraft to a safe stop. Overall, the landing was executed safely and efficiently, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and expertise.
