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 1,911 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,911 m of the 3,591 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 561 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 13 at ZBYN Taiyuan Wusu Airport. The takeoff distance was 794 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 123 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -4°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 50°.
The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south east of ZBYN Taiyuan Wusu Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,569 feet above sea level to 33,013 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,444 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 12 miles north of Taiyuan. This phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 110 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 1 mile east of Liuxuyao, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 32,834 feet above sea level to 4,770 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,064 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 59 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at ZBHH Hohhot Baita International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 73.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,226 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 08, which had a length of 3,591 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 100 knots.
The touchdown point was 245 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 90 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -314 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -14°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 80°. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,931 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 199 nautical miles, which was covered in 51 minutes, and the aircraft used 530 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at ZBHH Hohhot Baita International Airport, achieving a score of 92.9%. The final approach to runway 08 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 73.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,226 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 100 knots. The touchdown point was located 245 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 90 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -314 feet per minute was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -14°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 80°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 2 knots, which had a minimal impact on the landing. The runway length at ZBHH Hohhot Baita International Airport is 3,591 meters, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft to come to a stop.
The total landing distance of 1,931 meters was 54% of the available runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled path after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision.
