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.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,101 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,953 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the M500 took off from runway 35 at 24N Jicarilla Apache Nation. The taxi from the parking to the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The departure roll covered 39% of the runway, with a takeoff distance of 2,915 ft. The liftoff speed was 97 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 46 °F, with a wind of 12 kn at 277 ° resulting in a crosswind of 12 kn and a headwind of 1 kn.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles north of 24N Jicarilla Apache Nation Dulce and lasted less than a minute, covering less than 1 nm. The landing took place on runway 19 at KPSO Stevens, with a runway length of 8,101 ft. The height at threshold was 67 ft agl, and the speed at threshold was 101 kn. The touchdown occurred 1,951 ft from the threshold with a touchdown speed of 89 kn and a VSI of -106 ft/m. The local weather at the time of landing was 47 °F, with a wind of 4 kn at 259 ° resulting in a crosswind of 4 kn and a headwind of 2 kn. The total landing distance was 3,293 ft, 41% of the runway.
Taxiing from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 31 nm, taking 21 minutes and using 80 lbs of fuel.
First and foremost, congratulations on achieving a landing score of 92.5%! This is a strong result and demonstrates your skill and proficiency as a pilot.
Let's break down the different phases of the aircraft landing to provide a detailed analysis and see where there is room for improvement.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it is noted that there were issues with the descent path being above the glideslope limit and the speed being well above the target. Maintaining a proper descent path and speed control are crucial aspects of a successful landing. To improve in this area, focus on closely monitoring your descent rate and adjusting your speed accordingly to ensure a smoother approach.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, while the threshold height was above target, it's great to see that there was a good landing flare. The landing flare is essential for a smooth touchdown, so continue to practice and refine this technique for more consistent landings. Additionally, work on achieving the target threshold height to improve overall landing performance.
In the Touchdown Phase, it's worth noting that the touchdown rate was smooth, which is an excellent skill to have mastered. However, the speed was too high, and the touchdown point was 553 ft beyond the touchdown zone. These factors indicate the need to focus on reducing speed appropriately before touchdown and ensuring precision in touchdown placement. Aim to land within the designated touchdown zone for safer and more efficient landings.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, it's positive to see that the runway alignment was very good. Maintaining proper alignment during rollout is essential for a successful landing, so continue to practice and refine this aspect of your landings.
Overall, your landing score of 92.5% is commendable, and there are clear strengths in your performance, such as smooth touchdown rates and good landing flares. To further enhance your skills, focus on improving descent path control, speed management, touchdown point accuracy, and threshold height consistency. With continued practice and attention to these areas, you'll be able to achieve even higher scores and refine your landing technique. Keep up the great work and happy flying!
