Work on the flare
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline and speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline and speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 3,845 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 3,845 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 41 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Colonel James Jabara Airport in Wichita, Kansas, the aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. With the local weather conditions at 66°F and a wind of 21 knots at 210 degrees, the aircraft took off from runway 18, utilizing 1,859 feet of the 6,000-foot runway, which accounted for 31% of its length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 134 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 31,993 feet above sea level in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles. The climb was initiated overhead the airport, and the aircraft continued to ascend, eventually reaching its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent. The descent phase was initiated 2 miles southwest of Lebo, Kansas, and the aircraft descended from 31,892 feet to 12,011 feet in 11 minutes, covering 77 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to descend, eventually reaching its final approach altitude of 2,184 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,732 feet in 7 minutes, covering 26 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport in Kansas City, Missouri, was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 227.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,432 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 105 knots, slightly below the target speed. The touchdown distance was 38 feet, and the touchdown speed was 104 knots, both of which were within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was, however, quite hard at -594 feet per minute. The aircraft landed on the runway, utilizing 28% of its 3,845-foot length, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,093 feet, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 200 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 8,650 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The final approach to runway 21 at KMKC Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport from the north east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 227.0° at 4 nm and 1,432 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target, coming in at 105 kt.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good control, with a touchdown distance of 38 ft and a speed of 104 kt. Although the touchdown rate was somewhat hard at -594 fpm, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of pilot skill. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 69°F and a headwind of 17 kt, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,093 ft, which accounted for 28% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing performance of Aircraft C750 was satisfactory, with a score of 89.9%.
