Be on speed by the gate
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.

Rotate the moment the speed tape reaches 125 kt, not after it.
What happened: Rotation was held until 144 kt, 19 kt past the 125 kt rotation target. Carrying that much extra speed into rotation usually adds unwanted energy right at liftoff.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 46 kt FAST on the reference speed of 116 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 25 kt FAST on the reference speed of 116 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,392 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,891 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The C750 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway, a movement that required 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 27 at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport, achieving a takeoff distance of 2,527 ft (39 % of runway) and lifting off at 144 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 63 °F, wind 2 kt from 270°, with a crosswind component of 0 kt and a headwind component of 2 kt.
Climb began 1 mile west of KARR, where the airplane rose from 1,671 ft asl to 20,006 ft asl, an altitude gain of 18,335 ft achieved in 7 minutes while traversing 41 nm.
Level cruise was established 2 miles south-east of II31 Jurassic Landings Ultralightport Essex and persisted for 42 minutes, during which the flight covered 331 nm.
Descent was initiated 8 miles south-east of Cookeville, Tennessee, with the aircraft descending from 20,002 ft asl to 1,947 ft asl, a loss of 18,055 ft over 12 minutes and a distance of 61 nm.
The final approach to runway 20 at KCHA Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field) was flown from the north, on a heading of 197.0°, at 4 nm and 1,260 ft agl.
Landing on runway 20 was executed on a runway 7,392 ft long, with a threshold speed of 120 kt. Touchdown occurred 496 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 105 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 254 fpm and a lateral deviation of 20 ft from the centreline. Weather at the time was temperature 59 °F, wind 2 kt from 270°, crosswind 2 kt and headwind 1 kt. The total landing distance measured 3,588 ft (49 % of runway).
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 440 nm, required 66 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 0 lbs of fuel.
The C750 established a final approach to runway 20 at KCHA Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport from the north, tracking a heading of 197.0° at 4 nm and 1,260 ft agl. Local weather was 59 °F with wind 2 kt from 270°, providing a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component. The approach featured a good threshold height.
At the threshold the aircraft maintained a good speed of 120 kt and proceeded to flare in preparation for touchdown.
Touchdown occurred 496 ft beyond the designated touchdown zone with a good speed of 105 kt. The vertical rate was fair at minus 254 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 20 ft from the centreline. Total landing distance measured 3,588 ft, representing 49 % of the 7,392 ft runway.
Rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft decelerated within the remaining runway distance without deviation.
The minor overshoot of the touchdown zone and the vertical rate of minus 254 fpm suggest a need to refine the flare timing to achieve a more precise touchdown location and a smoother sink rate. Maintaining the current alignment performance will preserve the strong overall score of 94.9 %.
