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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,758 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,758 m of the 1,921 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 924 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Bombardier Challenger 350 taxied from the parking area to runway 08 at Denver International Airport (KDEN) in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 08 at KDEN, accelerating through a takeoff distance of 874 m (24 % of the runway) and lifting off at 118 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 269°, no crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
Climb began 2 miles east of KDEN, with the aircraft ascending from 6,431 ft MSL to 42,991 ft MSL, a gain of 36,560 ft achieved in 15 minutes while covering 94 nm.
The first level cruise commenced 11 miles northeast of Crystal Lakes Airport (25CO) and continued for 27 minutes, traversing 219 nm.
Descent initiated 22 miles west of Fort Washakie, Wyoming, with the aircraft descending from 43,006 ft MSL to 17,185 ft MSL, a loss of 25,821 ft over 15 minutes and 106 nm.
A brief level cruise followed, beginning 5 miles southeast of Johnson Heliport (WY08) near Jackson, Wyoming, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
The next descent began 7 miles east of Alta, Wyoming, with the aircraft dropping from 16,781 ft MSL to 7,462 ft MSL, a reduction of 9,320 ft accomplished in 8 minutes over 31 nm.
Final approach to runway 19 at Jackson Hole Airport (KJAC) was executed from the north, on a heading of 198.0° at 2 nm and 1,030 ft agl. During the approach the aircraft descended from 1,727 ft agl to 246 ft agl in 88 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing was made on runway 19, whose length is 1,921 m. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 125 kt. Touchdown occurred 497 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 102 kt; the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 202 fpm and the touchdown point was offset 5.0 m from the centreline. Local weather reported 17 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, crosswind 1 kt, headwind 0 kt.
The aircraft rolled out over a distance of 1,666 m, representing 87 % of the runway, with alignment during rollout described as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 466nm, taking 73, and used 1,006 kg of fuel.
The Bombardier Challenger 350 entered the final approach to runway 19 at KJAC from the north on a heading of 198.0° at 2 nm and 1,030 ft agl. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, with sink rate too high, off the glideslope and more than 20 kt above VREF. Descent was recorded from 1,727 ft agl to 246 ft agl in 88 seconds. Local weather was 17 °C with wind 1 kt from 270°, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 0 kt.
At threshold the aircraft’s speed was slightly above target at 125 kt and the touchdown point was 497 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a good threshold height.
Touchdown occurred at 102 kt, a speed rated good, with a touchdown rate of minus 202 fpm rated fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,666 m, representing 87 % of the 1,921 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
To improve the 63.5 % score, focus on achieving a stabilized approach by controlling sink rate, maintaining the glideslope and keeping speed within VREF, and work on precise centreline alignment at touchdown.
