Improve the taxi
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

The rest of the report
The flight initiated with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway at KFOE Topeka Regional Airport. It took 2 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nm. Once cleared for departure, the aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 03, and the takeoff distance was recorded as 3,755 ft, accounting for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was achieved at 146 kt once the aircraft had gained sufficient speed.
Enroute, the flight commenced its climb from 2,070 ft above sea level (asl) to 25,018 ft asl, resulting in an increase of 22,948 ft in just 10 minutes and covering 56 nm. This significant ascent occurred approximately 1 mile west of the Sunset Strip Airpark in Topeka, Kansas. Following the climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, lasting 36 minutes and covering 301 nm. The enroute level cruise phase began 3 miles south-east of Agency in Missouri, United States.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft entered its initial descent, initiating from a height of 25,012 ft asl to 1,903 ft asl, with a decrease of 23,109 ft in 16 minutes, and covering 68 nm. This descent phase began 1 mile east of Brodhead in Wisconsin, United States. After descending, the aircraft approached runway 19R at KMKE General Mitchell International Airport from the north.
The final approach began at a height of 4 nm at an altitude of 1,187 ft asl, heading 187.0°. The local weather conditions at the time of landing consisted of a temperature of 59 °F and wind of 2 kt at 270°. The crosswind component was 2 kt, with a headwind component of 0 kt. Once landed, the aircraft had a touchdown distance of 282 ft, exceeding the threshold speed of 122 kt. The touchdown speed was noted at 120 kt, which is slightly above the recommended speed. The touchdown rate was relatively fair at -268 fpm.
The aircraft landed on runway 19R at KMKE General Mitchell International Airport, with a total landing distance of 2,381 ft, accounting for 27% of the 8,902 ft runway. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 34 ft, while the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 36 ft from the centreline. Taxying from the runway to the parking took 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 433 nm, and the overall flight duration was 69 minutes. Interestingly, the aircraft used 0 lbs of fuel throughout the flight, a testament to its efficiency.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 19R at KMKE General Mitchell International Airport, scoring an impressive 95.1% on its landing performance. The aircraft began its final approach from the north, heading 187.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,187 feet above ground level. The pilots executed a precise approach, taking into consideration the available runway length of 8,902 feet.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height and threshold speed of 122 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 282 feet was in line with expectations, and the touchdown speed of 120 knots was slightly faster than desired, with a notable touchdown rate of -268 feet per minute. This could have been a result of the pilots not fully utilizing the aircraft's deceleration capabilities during the landing phase.
Notably, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly off-centre, deviating by 34 feet from the runway centreline. Furthermore, despite being aligned with the runway centreline on rollout, the aircraft drifted off by 36 feet during the rollout phase. The landing distance of 2,381 feet was within 27% of the available runway length, suggesting that the pilots maintained adequate control during the landing phase.
Weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a relatively calm wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. The pilots were able to utilize the available headwind and crosswind conditions to guide the aircraft onto the runway, making the landing process slightly easier.
