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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,556 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 244 m 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 09 at Key West International Airport (KEYW), with a takeoff distance of 647 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 136 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Stock Island, Florida, and ascended from an altitude of 1,014 feet above sea level to 46,261 feet above sea level, an increase of 45,247 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 118 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 7 miles southeast of Miami Beach, Florida, and lasted for 30 minutes, covering a distance of 755 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 67 miles north of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, and descended from 46,146 feet above sea level to 1,815 feet above sea level, a decrease of 44,330 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 129 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 09 at Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport (TJIG) was made from the west, heading 81.0 degrees, at an altitude of 1,757 feet above ground level, 2 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 09 at TJIG was successful, with a touchdown distance of 241 meters, which was good, and a touchdown speed of 108 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -270 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 0 knots and a direction of 100 degrees.
The total landing distance was 851 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centerline. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,007 nautical miles, which was covered in 79 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,937 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at TJIG Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport, achieving a score of 95.8%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 81.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,757 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 09, which has a length of 1,556 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 112 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 241 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 108 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -270 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a slightly steeper descent than desired.
Upon landing, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.1 meters. This deviation may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 100°.
The total landing distance of 851 meters was 55% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.9 meters. This deviation may have been due to the same factors that caused the initial touchdown position misalignment.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 95.8%. However, there were some minor deviations from the desired touchdown position and rollout alignment, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
