Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,192 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,933 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 02 at KHFD Hartford Brainard Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,886 feet, which is 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KHFD, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of East Hartford, Connecticut. The climb started at an altitude of 1,074 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 20,783 feet, an increase of 19,709 feet in just 9 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered 33 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 1 mile south of Falls Village, Connecticut, and lasted for 52 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 315 nautical miles during this phase. The descent phase started 2 miles east of Clark, Pennsylvania, where the aircraft descended from 20,187 feet to 3,404 feet, a decrease of 16,783 feet in 9 minutes. The aircraft covered 41 nautical miles during this descent.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, this time starting 2 miles northwest of 93OH Gay Airport Atwater, Ohio. This phase lasted for just 3 minutes and covered 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at KCAK Akron Canton Regional Airport began from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 227.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,313 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 23, which has a length of 8,192 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was well above the target at 108 knots.
The touchdown point was 925 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 98 knots, which is a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -174 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline. The local weather at the time of landing was 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
The total landing distance was 3,343 feet, which is 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking just 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 406 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 80 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KCAK Akron Canton Regional Airport, achieving a score of 97.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northeast, heading 227.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,313 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 23, which has a length of 8,192 feet.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed, indicating a controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 98 kt was slightly faster than desired, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum at the time of touchdown. The touchdown rate of -174 fpm was good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The touchdown point was 925 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. This may have been due to the aircraft's speed and momentum at the time of touchdown. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's flight path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 68°F. The total landing distance of 3,343 feet was 41% of the runway length, which is a relatively long distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the desired parameters. The aircraft's speed and momentum at the time of touchdown were slightly higher than desired, and the touchdown point was farther back than desired. However, the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a safe and controlled landing.
