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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,124 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 651 m past the threshold — beyond 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 approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Citation CJ3+, then departed from runway 21 at KSEZ Sedona Airport in Arizona, United States. The takeoff distance was 544 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 122 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 280 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead KSEZ Sedona Airport. The climb took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 5,454 feet above sea level to 23,944 feet above sea level, a total increase of 18,490 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 11 miles south of KFLS Flagstaff Airport. This phase lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 72 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 7 miles west of KGAN Ganado Airport. The descent took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 53 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 23,877 feet above sea level to 8,585 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 15,292 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles east of Fort Defiance, Arizona. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 21 at KRQE Window Rock Airport was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 214.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,860 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing was made on runway 21 at KRQE Window Rock Airport, which had a length of 2,124 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 104 knots. The touchdown point was 222 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 91 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -131 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 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. The total landing distance was 1,105 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 158 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 44 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 345 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Citation CJ3+ aircraft, registered as N60US, successfully landed at KRQE Window Rock Airport, achieving a score of 92.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, heading 214.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,860 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 21, which has a length of 2,124 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 104 knots. The touchdown point was 222 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown speed of 91 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -131 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 22 knots from 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a very good runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance of 1,105 meters was 52% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, suggesting that the aircraft maintained control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good handling and control.
