Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 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 10,879 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 285 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from the Eastern Iowa Airport, KCID, the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, a brief 2-minute journey covering less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 27, the departure roll commenced, with the aircraft taking off in a distance of 2,477 feet, utilizing only 30% of the available runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 139 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a gentle headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of KCID, ascending from 1,898 feet above sea level to 20,007 feet, a vertical increase of 18,109 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 34 minutes and covering 273 nautical miles, before commencing its enroute descent 2 miles southwest of Portland, Indiana. The descent from 20,002 feet to 2,240 feet, a decrease of 17,762 feet, was completed in 11 minutes, covering 60 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the James M. Cox Dayton International Airport, KDAY, it began its final approach to runway 24R from the northeast, aligning with a heading of 235.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,221 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly below the target at 107 knots, and a touchdown distance of 287 feet, utilizing only 17% of the available runway length. The touchdown speed of 105 knots was within acceptable limits, while the touchdown rate of -240 feet per minute was fair. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing the journey in just 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 386 nautical miles was achieved in 60 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 194 pounds of fuel.
The aircraft, C750, successfully executed a final approach to runway 24R at KDAY James M Cox Dayton International Airport from the north east, aligning with the runway heading of 235.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,221 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height allowing for a controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 107 knots, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal approach speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 287 feet, with a corresponding touchdown speed of 105 knots. The touchdown rate of -240 feet per minute was fair, suggesting a moderate rate of descent. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centreline, the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind of 2 knots at 269°, contributed to a relatively calm environment for the landing.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment with the centreline, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. The total landing distance of 1,825 feet, representing 17% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance of C750 was impressive, with a score of 98.2% reflecting the high level of proficiency and control exhibited throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
