Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 27 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on the approach so speed is back to 115 kt by the stabilisation gate, not carried into the flare.
What happened: The approach was still fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 105 kt against a VREF of 115 kt, and the flare then held the aircraft off high, arresting the sink early at 24 ft instead of letting it continue down. Carrying excess speed into the flare usually carries the touchdown into a high hold-off rather than a timely let-down.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 115 kt at the stabilisation gate and through to the threshold.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 36 kt FAST on the reference speed of 115 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 19 kt FAST on the reference speed of 115 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,095 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,020 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KUZA Rock Hill - York County Airport took a brief 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 02, utilizing 2,431 feet, or 44% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 141 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 61°F, with a light wind of 2 knots from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of India Hook, South Carolina, at an altitude of 1,576 feet above sea level. Over the course of 10 minutes, the aircraft ascended to 25,007 feet, a vertical increase of 23,432 feet, while covering a distance of 61 nautical miles. Following a 48-minute level cruise at 25,007 feet, the aircraft began its enroute descent 3 miles northwest of Arcola, Illinois, at an altitude of 25,008 feet. The descent, which lasted 14 minutes, resulted in a decrease of 22,458 feet in altitude, while covering 84 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off at 2,550 feet, before making a final approach to runway 31 at KPIA General Wayne A. Downing Peoria International Airport.
The final approach was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 307.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,317 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 31, which featured a length of 10,073 feet. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 105 knots, but the touchdown distance of 991 feet was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 99 knots and the firm touchdown rate of -315 feet per minute also met the desired criteria. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 40 feet from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 43 feet from the centerline. Following a taxiing period of 1 minute, the aircraft came to rest in the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 564 nautical miles in 81 minutes, with no fuel consumed.
The aircraft, C750, successfully executed a final approach to runway 31 at KPIA General Wayne A. Downing Peoria International Airport from the south east, aligning with the runway heading of 307.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,317 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 105 knots. This minor deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the subsequent phases of the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good control, with a touchdown speed of 99 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -315 feet per minute. However, the touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 40 feet, which would require correction during the rollout phase. The touchdown distance of 991 feet was within acceptable limits, and the total landing distance of 2,344 feet, which accounted for 23% of the runway length, was also satisfactory.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment with the centreline was slightly off by 43 feet, indicating a need for further correction. Despite these minor deviations, the overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 93.6%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 61°F and a wind of 2 knots at 269°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment, which facilitated a smooth landing.
