Slow down earlier
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: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,006 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 638 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 area to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a C750, then departed from runway 08 at the Camilla Mitchell County Airport (KCXU). The takeoff distance was 2,379 feet, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 147 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. There was a slight tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the town of Camilla, Georgia. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,176 feet above sea level to 11,918 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,743 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 44 nautical miles. This phase began 3 miles south of the town of Sale City, Georgia. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 5 miles east of the town of Arabi, Georgia. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 12,001 feet above sea level to 1,520 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,481 feet, in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 44 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at the Telfair Wheeler Airport (KMQW) was made from the south, with the aircraft heading at an angle of 23.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,308 feet above ground level and was 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. There was a slight crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The aircraft landed on runway 03 at the Telfair Wheeler Airport, which had a length of 5,006 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 100 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 638 feet, and the touchdown speed was 96 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -261 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 44 feet from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 2,178 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 46 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 105 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 25 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,409 pounds of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KMQW Telfair Wheeler Airport, achieving a score of 92.6%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 23.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,308 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 03, which has a length of 5,006 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 100 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 638 feet was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 96 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -261 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a slightly steeper descent than desired.
During the landing, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was misaligned by 44 feet from the centreline, which may have contributed to a slightly uneven rollout. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F, with a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 2,178 feet was 44% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 46 feet from the centreline, which may have required some corrective action from the pilot to maintain control of the aircraft. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good score despite some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
