Hold the approach speed
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 6,971 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,205 ft 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 to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 21 at PHTO Hilo International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,163 feet, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 134 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 82°F, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 159 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southeast of Hilo, rising from an altitude of 1,194 feet above sea level to 12,290 feet, an increase of 11,096 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles east of Pepeekeo and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 23 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 10 miles northeast of Pa'auilo, rising from 12,271 feet to 15,441 feet, an increase of 3,170 feet in 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. This was followed by a brief enroute level cruise 6 miles north of Honoka'a, lasting 2 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 6 miles southeast of Hala'ula, with the aircraft descending from 16,066 feet to 12,650 feet, a decrease of 3,416 feet in 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 2 miles southwest of PHUP Upolu Airport Hawi, rising from 12,403 feet to 22,526 feet, an increase of 10,122 feet in 4 minutes, covering 24 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 17 miles south of Keokea and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 10 miles south of Wailea, with the aircraft descending from 22,540 feet to 3,771 feet, a decrease of 18,769 feet in 11 minutes, covering 63 nautical miles. This was followed by a final enroute level cruise 18 miles southwest of HI49 Panda Airport Kaunakakai, lasting 10 minutes and covering 30 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22R at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 243.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,545 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 22R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,199 feet, which was 30% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 97 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -365 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 79°F, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 231 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 39 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 39 feet from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 200 nautical miles, taking 72 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,328 pounds of fuel.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, but with some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 243.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,545 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to runway 22R was executed with a good threshold speed of 107 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a slight deviation in the aircraft's descent. The touchdown distance of 1,199 feet was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 97 knots was good.
Despite the successful touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was misaligned by 39 feet from the centreline, which could be a concern for the aircraft's stability and control during the rollout phase. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F and a headwind of 12 knots at 231°. The crosswind was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 2,106 feet was 30% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 39 feet from the centreline, which could be a concern for the aircraft's stability and control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but with some minor deviations from the ideal parameters.
