Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 125 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 150 kt, 25 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 125 kt at liftoff

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 11,780 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 834 ft 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 07 at Paris-Le Bourget Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,988 feet, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 56°F and a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 70°. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Gonesse, France, and rising from an altitude of 995 feet above sea level to 24,155 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,160 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Sacy-le-Petit, France, and lasting for 12 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 94 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 16 miles west of Equihen-Plage, France, and descending from 24,100 feet above sea level to 2,906 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,193 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south east of Chessington, England, and lasting for 8 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 18 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 2 miles south west of Dorney, England, and the aircraft descended from 2,652 feet above sea level to 1,355 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,297 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09L at London Heathrow Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 90.0°, at an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 09L, which had a length of 11,780 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 119 knots.
However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 114 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -484 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 35 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 54°F and a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 100°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,219 feet, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 35 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 218 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 58 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 1,699 pounds.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 09L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a score of 93.1%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway with a threshold speed of 119 knots, which was within the acceptable range.
However, the touchdown speed of 114 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more optimal speed during the approach. Additionally, the touchdown rate of -484 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a more abrupt touchdown than necessary.
The runway touchdown position was also found to be misaligned by 35 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 54°F and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment during the approach.
The total landing distance of 2,219 feet was within the acceptable range, accounting for only 19% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was also found to be slightly misaligned by 35 feet from the centreline, which may have been a result of the initial misalignment during the approach. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
