Flight Score
Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 1.8°.
What happened: The wings held 1.8° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 3.5° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.
Arrival
Close the throttles earlier on final so you cross the threshold at 115 kt rather than carrying excess speed.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 122 kt, 7 kt above the 115 kt target, and the nose was then only raised 1° in the flare, taking out little of the sink. Crossing the threshold fast like this usually carries extra energy into a flare that barely arrests the sink, and that combination usually ends in a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 115 kt at the threshold.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 616 m 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 to the runway at Miami International Airport, taking 5 minutes and covering 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 09, with a takeoff distance of 586 meters, which was 17% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 134 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 26°C temperature and a 4-knot headwind at 80°. The enroute climb started overhead Miami International Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,036 feet above sea level to 40,480 feet, an increase of 39,444 feet in 15 minutes, covering 78 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 7 miles southwest of the Flying Cow Air Ranch Airport in Okeechobee, Florida, and lasted for 45 minutes, covering 329 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 8 miles west of Glenwood, Georgia, and descended from 40,023 feet to 26,206 feet, a decrease of 13,817 feet in 3 minutes, covering 24 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed overhead the Whitehall Airport in Montrose, Georgia, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 5 miles northeast of the Robins Air Force Base in Warner Robins, Georgia, and descended from 25,153 feet to 14,008 feet, a decrease of 11,145 feet in 3 minutes, covering 21 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued 6 miles southeast of Forsyth, Georgia, and lasted for 38 minutes, covering 49 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 1 mile south of the Andy Fields Airport in Newnan, Georgia, and descended from 13,990 feet to 3,922 feet, a decrease of 10,067 feet in 5 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 4 miles southeast of Villa Rica, Georgia, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent overhead the Miller Farm Airport in Douglasville, Georgia, and descended from 3,899 feet to 2,313 feet, a decrease of 1,587 feet in 3 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport took place from the west, with a heading of 90.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, with a touchdown point 189 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 118 knots, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,189 meters, which was 43% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 563 nautical miles, taking 104 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,569 kilograms of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) on runway 09R. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a good threshold speed of 123 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
However, the threshold height at 84 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach path. The touchdown point was 189 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 118 knots was a little fast, but not excessively so. The touchdown rate of -284 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a relatively light wind of 5 knots at 160°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,189 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal approach path and touchdown conditions.
