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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,899 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 167 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 25 at the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (KSBA), with a takeoff distance of 2,938 feet, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 143 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Isla Vista, California, and reached an altitude of 18,911 feet above sea level, increasing by 17,975 feet in just 6 minutes and covering a distance of 34 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 6 miles southeast of Carpinteria, California, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 43 nautical miles.
The aircraft then started its enroute descent 6 miles south of Topanga, California, and descended from 18,232 feet to 9,007 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,225 feet in 5 minutes and covering 29 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed overhead West Whittier-Los Nietos, California, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles.
The final descent began overhead Pico Rivera, California, and the aircraft descended from 8,991 feet to 2,103 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,888 feet in 4 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24R at the Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX), approaching from the east with a heading of 263.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,947 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 162 feet and a touchdown speed of 96 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -472 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions were a temperature of 61 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 140 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,670 feet, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 138 nautical miles, taking 40 minutes, and the aircraft used 6 pounds of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 24R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport, achieving a score of 95.1%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,947 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 162 feet, which is considered good.
The touchdown speed of 96 kt was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was reported as hard, with a rate of -472 feet per minute (fpm). This may be a concern, as a hard touchdown can put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially lead to damage.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centreline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's approach path to improve accuracy. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F and a gentle wind of 3 kt at 140°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 kt, while the tailwind component was slightly stronger, at 2 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,670 feet was within the acceptable range, accounting for only 19% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there are some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to the touchdown rate and runway alignment. With some adjustments to the approach path and landing technique, the pilot can aim to achieve an even higher score in future landings.
