Settle the descent rate
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: six 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 3,058 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 8.4° against the runway's 3°, centreline 8.9° off, against a 1° limit and speed 49 kt FAST on the reference speed of 124 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,855 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,855 ft of the 11,976 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,083 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 1.72 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Colonel James Jabara Airport in Wichita, Kansas, the aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. With the runway 18 cleared, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 2,098 feet of the 35% of the runway available for takeoff. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 131 knots, overcoming a headwind of 19 knots and a crosswind of just 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it traversed a distance of 118 nautical miles, increasing its altitude from 1,971 feet above sea level to 44,016 feet in just 19 minutes. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 141 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 43,969 feet to 34,023 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise phase, lasting 7 minutes and covering 48 nautical miles. The final descent phase saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 34,002 feet to 7,178 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 49 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Denver International Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 08 from the west, heading 81.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,772 feet above ground level. The landing was completed on the 11,990-foot runway, with the touchdown point located 1,511 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 117 knots was slightly above the target, while the touchdown rate of -732 feet per minute was considered heavy. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 56 feet. After taxiing to the parking area, the aircraft had completed a total flight distance of 403 nautical miles, using 11 pounds of fuel and taking a total of 76 minutes.
The aircraft, C750, initiated its final approach to runway 08 at KDEN Denver International Airport from the west, aligning with a heading of 81.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,772 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 59 feet above ground level, slightly above the target. However, the threshold speed of 143 knots was significantly above the target, indicating a potential for a long rollout.
As the aircraft touched down 1,511 feet beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 117 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -732 feet per minute was very heavy. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 57 feet from the centreline, which would have required a correction during the rollout phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 61°F and winds of 19 knots at 310°, contributed to a crosswind of 12 knots and a tailwind of 15 knots.
The total landing distance of 5,383 feet was 45% of the runway length, indicating a relatively long rollout. Unfortunately, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 56 feet from the centreline, further complicating the landing. Overall, the landing performance of C750 scored 78.0%, with room for improvement in terms of approach speed, touchdown speed, and alignment during the rollout phase.
