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.

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 12,322 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,180 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 18 at Colonel James Jabara Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,211 feet, which was 36% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 133 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 190°. This resulted in a headwind of 8 knots and no crosswind. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of the airport and reaching an altitude of 16,116 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,862 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile southeast of Newton, Kansas, and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Savute Airport, Kechi, Kansas, and descending from 15,821 feet to 3,060 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,761 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 43 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles north of Silers Plane Valley Airport, Salina, Kansas, and lasting 6 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 17 at Salina Municipal Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 181.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,144 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 17 was characterized by a threshold height that was significantly above the target, and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 109 knots. The touchdown point was 785 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 103 knots, which was good, and a touchdown rate of -212 feet per minute, which was fair. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 47 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°F and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 170°, resulting in a headwind of 13 knots and a crosswind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 3,099 feet, which was 25% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 47 feet from the centreline.
The flight ended with taxiing to the parking area from the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 100 nautical miles, taking 32 minutes, and the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KSLN Salina Municipal Airport, achieving an overall score of 80.9%. The final approach to runway 17 was initiated from the north, with a heading of 181.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,144 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 17, which has a length of 12,322 feet. However, the threshold height at 80 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating a slight deviation in the aircraft's descent. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 109 knots, suggesting a minor adjustment in the aircraft's approach speed.
The touchdown point was located 785 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a notable deviation from the ideal landing position. The touchdown speed of 103 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -212 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a relatively smooth landing. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 47 feet from the centreline, which may have contributed to the deviation from the touchdown zone.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°F and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 170°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots, which may have influenced the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance was 3,099 feet, which is 25% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 47 feet from the centreline, which may have contributed to the overall score of 80.9%.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some notable deviations from the ideal approach and landing parameters. These deviations may be addressed through further training and practice to improve the aircraft's performance and overall score.
