Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 19°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Use aileron to level the wings and hold the upwind wing low only enough to track the centreline before touchdown.
What happened: At touchdown the wings were not level, with an average bank angle of 2.4°.
Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator and keep wings level through touchdown.
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.
One stabilised approach gate: six 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. These checks are the approach's score.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,848 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 691 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from KADS Addison Airport, where the aircraft rolled out onto runway 16 and began its takeoff roll. The takeoff distance of 1,978 feet was 36% of the runway length, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 137 knots. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F and a gentle tailwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed out of Addison, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 36,995 feet in 14 minutes and covering 83 nautical miles. The climb was steady, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent rate of ascent. Once level cruise was established, the aircraft flew for 64 minutes, covering 564 nautical miles. The crew then began the descent into Scottsdale Airport, navigating through a series of level cruises and descents to manage the aircraft's altitude and airspeed. The final approach to runway 21 was made from the northeast, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 110 knots and a touchdown distance of 695 feet.
The landing was successful, with the aircraft rolling out to a perfect alignment on the runway. The total landing distance was 2,475 feet, which was 35% of the runway length. The crew then taxied the aircraft to the parking area, where it was secured. The total flight distance was 812 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 112 minutes. The aircraft used 360 pounds of fuel during the flight, indicating a relatively efficient operation.
The aircraft, C750, successfully executed a final approach to runway 21 at KSDL Scottsdale Airport from the north east, aligning with the runway heading of 225.0° at 2 nautical miles and 720 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 114 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 695 feet, but the touchdown speed of 110 knots was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -376 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a light wind of 2 knots from 270°, contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, further facilitating a precise touchdown. The aircraft's performance was impressive, with a total landing distance of 2,475 feet, which accounted for only 35% of the runway length.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment with the runway centerline. The pilot's skill and control were evident in the smooth and controlled deceleration, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop within a safe distance from the runway threshold. Overall, the landing was scored at 98.1%, a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
