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 141 kt, 16 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 125 kt at liftoff

A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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.

Side view — the last 1,579 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,579 m of the 3,053 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 409 m 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 10 at OERR Arar Domestic Airport, located in the Northern Borders Region of Saudi Arabia. The takeoff distance was 811 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 116 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 1 knot was present. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead OERR Arar Domestic Airport and continued until it reached a cruising altitude of 46,217 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 112 nautical miles and took 19 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 43,402 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 19 miles east of OETR Turaif Domestic Airport and lasted for 13 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 95 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase then began, which started 5 miles northwest of OEGT Gurayat Domestic Airport and continued until the aircraft reached a lower altitude. This descent phase covered a distance of 107 nautical miles and took 17 minutes, with a decrease in altitude of 42,587 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southwest of As Sawiyah and lasted for 2 minutes. This phase covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final descent phase began overhead Qarawat Bani Zayd and continued until the aircraft reached a lower altitude. This descent phase covered a distance of 8 nautical miles and took 4 minutes, with a decrease in altitude of 2,359 feet.
The final approach to runway 26 at LLBG Ben Gurion International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 260.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 26, which had a length of 3,053 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 122 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 408 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 118 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -202 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 310 degrees. There was a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,491 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 335 nautical miles, and the flight took 65 minutes. The aircraft used 821 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, C750, successfully landed on runway 26 at Ben Gurion International Airport (LLBG) with a final score of 96.5%. The approach began with the aircraft positioned to the east of the airport, heading 260.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). This position and heading were suitable for a standard ILS approach to runway 26, which is the primary runway for commercial flights into LLBG.
On the final approach segment, the aircraft achieved a good threshold speed of 122 knots, indicating adequate control and planning throughout the approach. The touchdown distance of 408 meters was also well within the expected range, allowing the crew to maintain a safe and controlled descent.
However, the touchdown speed of 118 knots was slightly high, suggesting a marginal loss of control at touch down. Nevertheless, this did not have a significant impact on the overall outcome of the landing. The touchdown rate of -202 feet per minute (fpm) was rated as fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent at the point of touchdown. This may be the result of the marginally high touchdown speed.
Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, with an offset of 4.3 meters. This was a minor deviation and did not have a significant impact on the safety of the landing. The crosswind and headwind velocities were relatively low, with 6 kt of crosswind and 5 kt of headwind, contributing to a smooth and controlled landing.
Throughout the rollout phase, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway centreline, indicating effective control and braking from the flight crews. The total landing distance of 1,491 meters represented 49% of the runway length, which is a reasonable result considering the wind conditions. Overall, this was a solid landing performance by C750, with areas for improvement identified but minimal impact on the outcome.
