Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power and pitch to hold the climb speed closer to target.

What happened: The climb speed during the departure climb was faster than the target.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target speed.

See Departure Climb 3

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.

Landing on runway 20 at KCHA Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field) in the Cessna Citation CJ4
Landing Score 96.85 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation approached runway 20 at KCHA Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport from the north on a heading of 196.0° at 4 NM and 1,273 ft AGL. Local weather was 59 °F with wind 2 kt from 270°, giving a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.

The aircraft crossed the threshold at 95 kt, slightly above the target, and the threshold height was good.

Touchdown occurred 1,428 ft down the runway at 82 kt, which was good, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 113 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 17 ft from the centreline.

The total landing distance was 2,606 ft, 35 % of the 7,392 ft runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

Reduce the approach speed to meet the target threshold speed and refine lateral control to eliminate the 17 ft offset at touchdown; these adjustments will tighten an already strong 93.6 % score.

Flare
90.93 %
The flare mostly held the target profile. The flare was pumped rather than held: pitch changed direction 6 times on the way down. Touchdown was 1,433 ft past the threshold. One smooth continuous input - chasing the runway with the elevator makes the next correction bigger, not smaller.
