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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,556 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 25 m 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 to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 09 at Key West International Airport (KEYW), with a takeoff distance of 665 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 136 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and winds of 12 knots at 129 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the headwind was 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Stock Island in Florida, and climbed from 1,025 feet above sea level to 45,986 feet above sea level, an increase of 44,960 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 25 miles southeast of the Ocean Reef Club Airport in Key Largo, Florida, and lasted for 89 minutes, covering a distance of 712 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 65 miles northeast of Miches in the Dominican Republic, and descended from 46,123 feet above sea level to 4,124 feet above sea level, a decrease of 41,999 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 136 nautical miles.
The enroute descent was followed by another level cruise, which started overhead the San Juan Static Carrier in Puerto Rico and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 6 miles north of Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and descended from 4,103 feet above sea level to 677 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,426 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport (TJIG) was made from the east, with a heading of 264.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 661 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27, which had a length of 1,556 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 112 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 23 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 110 knots. The touchdown rate was very hard at -525 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and winds of 8 knots at 92 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 663 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.3 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 987 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 147 minutes. The aircraft used 1,862 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at TJIG Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport, achieving a score of 93.3%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 264.0° at 2 nautical miles and 661 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 27, which has a length of 1,556 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 112 knots. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly slow during the approach, but it still managed to touch down safely. The touchdown distance was good at 23 meters, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
However, the touchdown speed of 110 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -525 feet per minute (fpm). A hard touchdown rate can be a concern as it may put excessive stress on the aircraft's landing gear and other components. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 92°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 8 knots. These conditions would have made the landing relatively easy, but the aircraft's performance still needs to be evaluated.
The total landing distance was 663 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the rollout path.
Overall, the landing of aircraft C750 at TJIG Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport was successful, but there are some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown rate. With some adjustments to the approach and landing technique, the aircraft can achieve an even higher score and safer landings.
