Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 125 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 143 kt against a rotation target of 125 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 125 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,793 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 792 ft touchdown sits inside 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 approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 18 at KOMA Eppley Airfield, with a takeoff distance of 2,260 feet, which was 28% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 143 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 96°F and winds of 13 knots at 150°. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead KOMA Eppley Airfield in Omaha, Nebraska. The climb took 11 minutes and covered 61 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 2,052 feet above sea level to 38,079 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 89 minutes and covered 837 nautical miles. The cruise phase started 2 miles northwest of Casey, Iowa. After the cruise, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles south of Redwood, New York. The descent took 20 minutes and covered 112 nautical miles, with the aircraft dropping from 38,244 feet to 1,575 feet.
The final approach to runway 15 at KBTV Burlington International Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 131.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,234 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 7,793 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 130 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 797 feet, but the touchdown speed was fast at 127 knots. The touchdown rate was very hard at -599 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 52 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 88°F and winds of 10 knots at 20°. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the tailwind was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,627 feet, which was 47% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 50 feet from the centerline. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,016 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 127 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KBTV Burlington International Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft scored 85.4% on its landing, indicating a decent performance but room for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 131.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,234 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 15, which has a length of 7,793 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 130 knots. This may have contributed to the subsequent issues with the landing. The touchdown distance was good at 797 feet, but the touchdown speed of 127 knots was faster than desired, resulting in a very hard touchdown rate of -599 feet per minute (fpm).
One of the major concerns with this landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off by 52 feet from the centreline. This could have been due to a combination of factors, including the crosswind and tailwind conditions. The local weather at the time of the landing was warm, with a temperature of 88°F, and a moderate wind of 10 knots at 20°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,627 feet, which is 47% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, but it may have been influenced by the aircraft's speed and the misaligned touchdown position. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 50 feet from the centreline, which could have contributed to the overall issues with the landing.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, it was still a successful one. However, the issues with the touchdown speed, touchdown rate, and runway alignment highlight areas where the pilot could improve their performance.
