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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,844 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 186 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a C750, then departed from runway 33 at KCHA Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field), with a takeoff distance of 2,308 feet, which was 47% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started at an altitude of 1,739 feet above sea level and reached 24,950 feet in just 10 minutes, covering a distance of 60 nautical miles. The climb began 1 mile east of East Chattanooga, Tennessee, and continued until the aircraft reached the desired altitude. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 53 minutes and covered a distance of 416 nautical miles. This phase started overhead KSRB Upper Cumberland Regional Airport in Sparta, Tennessee. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile northwest of Racine, Wisconsin, and descending from 24,964 feet to 11,092 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 22 nautical miles. This phase started 1 mile southwest of Deerfield, Illinois. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 9 miles east of Zion, Illinois, and descending from 11,177 feet to 1,946 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25L at KMKE General Mitchell International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 252.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,202 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 25L, which had a length of 7,844 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 101 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 180 feet, and the touchdown speed was 100 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -259 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 41 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°.
The total landing distance was 2,433 feet, which was 31% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 44 feet from the centerline. The total flight distance was 568 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 1 hour and 31 minutes, with no fuel consumption.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KMKE General Mitchell International Airport on runway 25L, achieving a score of 93.5%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 252.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,202 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 101 knots, but still within an acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 180 feet was considered good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and made a smooth landing. The touchdown speed of 100 knots was also within the desired range, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in executing a safe landing.
However, there were some areas for improvement. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 41 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. Additionally, the touchdown rate of -259 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot could have made a slightly smoother landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 kt, and the headwind was 2 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance of 2,433 feet was 31% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot made a relatively smooth and controlled landing.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 44 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a minor issue with the pilot's control inputs or a slight deviation in the aircraft's trajectory. Overall, despite some minor issues, the pilot of Aircraft C750 demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency in executing a safe and controlled landing at KMKE General Mitchell International Airport.
