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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,759 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 172 m 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 08 at UIUU Baikal International Airport in Ulan Ude, Russia. The takeoff distance was 682 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 121 knots, and the local weather conditions were quite cold, with a temperature of -32°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 225 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of UIUU Baikal International Airport. The climb started from an altitude of 2,690 feet above sea level and reached a height of 12,282 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,592 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The climb was a steep one, but the aircraft handled it smoothly.
After the climb, the aircraft entered its enroute level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of UIUU Baikal International Airport. This phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 89 nautical miles. The aircraft maintained a steady altitude and speed during this period, making good progress towards its destination.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 19 miles northeast of Baykal, Russia. The descent started from an altitude of 12,786 feet above sea level and reached a height of 2,998 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,787 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. The descent was a gradual one, and the aircraft landed safely at its destination.
The final approach to runway 12 at UIII Irkutsk International Airport was made from the west, heading 113.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,357 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 86 knots and a touchdown rate of -5 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was good at 169 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were again quite cold, with a temperature of -28°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 80 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 844 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 128 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 42 minutes. The aircraft used 359 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at UIII Irkutsk International Airport, achieving a score of 92.4%. The final approach to runway 12 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 113.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,357 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was executed in a challenging environment, with a temperature of -28°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 80°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 86 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 88 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 169 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -5 feet per minute (fpm) was also perfect, demonstrating a high degree of precision and control.
Despite a slightly misaligned runway touchdown position, which was 4.9 meters off the centerline, the overall landing performance was impressive. The total landing distance of 844 meters was only 31% of the runway length, indicating a high degree of efficiency and control. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, by 8.9 meters from the centerline, which may require further attention to ensure optimal performance.
Overall, the Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency and control during the landing at UIII Irkutsk International Airport, achieving a score of 92.4%. The aircraft's performance in challenging weather conditions, including a temperature of -28°C and a wind speed of 3 knots, was particularly noteworthy.
