Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 346 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Learjet 35 taxied from the parking area to runway 03L at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, a movement that lasted 6 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 03L, the aircraft accelerated over 886 m, representing 34 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 143 kt; ambient conditions were 22 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 300°, a 5 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.
The climb began 1 mile northeast of KDTW, climbing from 1,629 ft asl to 31,735 ft asl-a gain of 30,106 ft-in 10 minutes while traversing 56 nm.
The first cruise segment started 1 mile south of Leslie, Michigan, and continued for 12 minutes, during which the jet covered 73 nm at level flight.
Descent commenced 1 mile east of M86 Walle Field, Pullman, Michigan, descending from 31,838 ft asl to 2,290 ft asl, a loss of 29,547 ft in 19 minutes while covering 104 nm.
A second level cruise began 1 mile southwest of Libertyville, Illinois, lasting 6 minutes and spanning 16 nm.
On final approach to runway 16 at KPWK Chicago Executive Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,337 ft agl to 32 ft agl in 91 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 16 was executed with a threshold speed of 135 kt, a touchdown distance of 344 m, a touchdown speed of 127 kt, and a touchdown rate of minus 194 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was perfect and the runway length is 1,524 m.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,363 m, equivalent to 89 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was described as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 257 nm, required 58 minutes, and consumed 625 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 16 at KPWK Chicago Executive Airport was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, being more than 20 kt above VREF. The aircraft descended from 1,337 ft AGL to 32 ft AGL in 91 seconds, and the stabilisation gates were scored accordingly. Local conditions were 17 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 310°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt tail-wind component.
At the threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 135 kt. The aircraft crossed the threshold and began the flare, maintaining the required geometry for a clean transition to touchdown.
Touchdown occurred 344 m down the runway, with a speed of 127 kt that was a little fast and a descent rate of minus 194 fpm, both recorded as good. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,363 m, representing 89 % of the 1,524 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
To improve the score, focus on achieving a stabilised approach within VREF limits to eliminate the early excess speed, and refine speed management during flare to bring touchdown speed closer to the target.
