Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 9.5°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.4 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,620 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,246 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight took off from Colonel James Jabara Airport, located in Wichita, Kansas, United States, utilizing runway 18. The aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 143 knots, which was achieved at a distance of 2,727 feet, representing 45% of the runway's total length. Local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 75°F and wind velocity of 7 knots at 230°, with a 5-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind.
Following a period of enroute climb, the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 2,435 feet to a cruising altitude of 43,579 feet. This notable gain in altitude occurred over a distance of 84 nautical miles in 17 minutes. The climb segment was initiated 1 mile south of the departure airport and concluded over a specific region in Kansas.
The subsequent level cruise phase took place approximately 15 miles west of Medicine Lodge, Kansas. During this period, lasting 44 minutes, the aircraft maintained an altitude of 43,579 feet and traveled a distance of 353 nautical miles. Subsequently, the enroute descent segment was initiated 8 miles northeast of Dexter, New Mexico, and involved a descent from 44,390 to 5,212 feet in 22 minutes over a distance of 135 nautical miles.
Upon approaching KELP El Paso International Airport, the aircraft commenced its final approach from the northeast and was heading 230.0° at an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level. With a temperature of 64°F and wind velocity of 22 knots at 30°, crosswinds and tailwinds were present during the landing. The aircraft touched down on runway 22 at a speed of 101 knots and achieved a touchdown distance that was considered good at 1,249 feet.
Following the landing, the aircraft came to a stop on the runway, showcasing a very good runway rollout alignment. The total landing distance covered was 3,916 feet, representing 37% of the runway's length. Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took only 5 minutes, with the aircraft covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance covered was 581 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 3,193 pounds of fuel while taking 95 minutes to complete the journey.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KELP El Paso International Airport, achieving a score of 94.1%. The flight approached the runway from the northeast, heading 230.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level. This final approach was executed effectively, resulting in a touchdown on runway 22, which has a length of 10,620 feet.
The touchdown height was good, and the threshold speed of 109 knots was only slightly below the target, indicating a controlled approach. The touchdown distance of 1,249 feet was also good, and the touchdown speed of 101 knots was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -634 feet per minute was heavy, suggesting that the aircraft landed with a relatively high vertical descent rate.
Despite the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position by 10 feet from the centreline, the flight still managed to achieve a smooth touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 64°F and a wind from 30° at a speed of 22 knots. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 21 knots, which slightly complicated the landing but did not hinder the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance of 3,916 feet was a moderate 37% of the runway length, implying that the aircraft decelerated effectively after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its direction and speed after landing, showcasing excellent control and piloting skills. Overall, the landing was considered successful, given the minor deviations and the circumstances, but with some areas for improvement to achieve a near-perfect score.
