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 1,685 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,685 m of the 3,192 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 621 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 to the runway, which took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 22 at ZYMD Mudanjiang Hailang International Airport. The takeoff distance was 580 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 121 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -14°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 229°.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile southwest of the airport. The climb was from an altitude of 1,896 feet above sea level to 26,669 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,773 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 4 miles southwest of the airport and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 83 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 21 miles southeast of Wuchang, China, and involved a descent from 26,691 feet above sea level to 2,377 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,314 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 67 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, which started 8 miles northeast of ZSHU Shuangcheng Air Base and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at ZYHB Harbin Taiping International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 39.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 90 knots and a touchdown rate of -101 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -18°C, with a wind speed of 0 knots at 180°.
The total landing distance was 1,665 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 174 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 635 kilograms.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at ZYHB Harbin Taiping International Airport, achieving a score of 91.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 39.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 3,192 meters and the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was -18°C, with a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 180°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing conditions ideal. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 109 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown point was 266 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this was still considered a good performance given the aircraft's size and weight.
The touchdown speed of 90 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -101 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The total landing distance of 1,665 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the landing conditions.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable stop. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach, touchdown, and rollout. The score of 91.7% reflects the high level of skill and professionalism demonstrated by the pilot during this landing.
