Be on speed by the gate
Next time
Reduce power on approach to bring speed back to 129 kt; correcting it early stops it carrying to the threshold and beyond.
What happened: The approach ran fast on speed, and that excess was still present at the threshold, crossing at 146 kt against a target of 129 kt; carrying that much extra speed usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 129 kt on approach, and threshold speed against 129 kt at the threshold.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 39 kt FAST on the reference speed of 129 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 31 kt FAST on the reference speed of 129 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,295 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 576 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Citation Longitude taxied from the parking area to runway 05L at UHHH Khabarovsk Novy Airport, a movement that lasted 2 minutes and covered 1 nm.
Departure roll on runway 05L was completed with a takeoff distance of 963 m, representing 27 % of the runway, and liftoff was achieved at 136 kt. Local weather at the time was 19 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 39°, giving a headwind component of 4 kt and no cross-wind.
Climb began overhead UHHH, climbing from 1,264 ft asl to 2,893 ft asl, an increase of 1,629 ft in less than 1 minute while covering 1 nm.
The first level cruise started 2 miles north-east of UHHH, lasted 2 minutes and encompassed 7 nm of flight.
Descent commenced 2 miles north-east of UTOP Topolevo Airport, descending from 3,023 ft asl to 842 ft asl, a loss of 2,180 ft in 3 minutes and covering 14 nm.
A second cruise segment began 15 miles north-east of UTOP, persisted for 5 minutes and spanned 21 nm.
Climb resumed 34 miles north-east of UHK1 Kalinka Airport, rising from 589 ft asl to 15,314 ft asl, an increase of 14,725 ft in 5 minutes while traveling 25 nm.
The next level cruise originated 26 miles south-west of UHHO Troitskoye Airport, lasted 2 minutes and covered 10 nm.
Descent continued 29 miles west of UHHO, dropping from 15,306 ft asl to 1,510 ft asl, a decrease of 13,796 ft in 8 minutes and traversing 45 nm.
Final approach to runway 06 at UAMM Mengon Air Base was flown from the south-west on a heading of 52.0° at 4 nm and 1,235 ft agl.
Landing on runway 06, which is 3,295 m long, was executed with a threshold speed of 147 kt; touchdown occurred 160 m beyond the touchdown zone at 137 kt with a vertical speed of minus 172 fpm and very good alignment. Weather at the airfield was 17 °C with a wind of 10 kt from 46°, providing a headwind component of 10 kt and a cross-wind of 1 kt. The aircraft required a landing distance of 1,371 m, equal to 42 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
In total the flight covered 131 nm, required 29 minutes of elapsed time and consumed 659 kg of fuel.
The final approach was flown from 1 nm to 1 nm at 317 ft AGL over Burlata, Navarra, Spain, with a temperature of 26 °C, wind 4 kt from 250°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
Touchdown occurred overhead Burlata with a speed of 5 kt, which was recorded as good, and a vertical rate of minus 59 fpm, described as excellent; the aircraft contacted the runway before the threshold.
The overall score for the landing was 65.7 %.
To improve the score, aim to touch down at the standard aim point approximately 300 m (1,000 ft) down the runway to avoid early contact, and ensure the flare is timed to maintain the desired touchdown point while preserving the excellent vertical rate already achieved.
