Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,968 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 309 m 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 16 at OERM Ras Mishab Airport, with a takeoff distance of 817 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a 5-knot tailwind. The enroute climb started overhead OERM Ras Mishab Airport, Al Mishab, and continued for 13 minutes, covering 71 nautical miles, as the aircraft ascended from 1,022 feet above sea level to 36,912 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,890 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 5 miles northwest of Al Ahmadi, Kuwait, and lasting 19 minutes, covering 156 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 9 miles north of Nasiriyah, Iraq, and descending from 36,450 feet above sea level to 10,968 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,482 feet, in 7 minutes, covering 43 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to alternate between level cruise and descent phases, with a brief level cruise starting 4 miles northeast of As Samawah, Iraq, lasting 2 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles, and another descent starting 7 miles northwest of As Samawah, Iraq, descending from 10,965 feet above sea level to 5,053 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,912 feet, in 3 minutes, covering 16 nautical miles.
The final level cruise phase started 18 miles southeast of Nahiyat Ghammas, Iraq, and lasted 10 minutes, covering 44 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 12 miles southwest of Najaf, Iraq, and descending from 4,860 feet above sea level to 1,404 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,456 feet, in 4 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then approached runway 10 at ORNI Al Najaf International Airport from the west, heading 104.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,290 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 308 meters, a touchdown speed of 120 knots, and a touchdown rate of -511 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 11°C temperature and a 5-knot tailwind.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 358 nautical miles, taking 70 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,124 kilograms of fuel.
Lying in front of us is the performance of aircraft C750 on the day of its final approach and landing at the ORNI Al Najaf International Airport. The aircraft achieved an impressive 93.5% score on its landing metrics.
Upon beginning the final approach from the west heading, at a distance of 4 nm and altitude of 1,290 ft, the aircraft effectively navigated towards the runway 10 at ORNI Al Najaf International Airport. The runway length of 2,968 m proved to be more than enough for the aircraft to come to a safe stop.
Key aspects of the landing stand out. The final approach threshold height was perfectly executed, giving the aircraft ample space to land before reaching the runway's edge. More impressively, the threshold speed of 121 kt was also within the expected range, further contributing to the safety and precision of the landing.
However, the touchdown distance came out to be relatively short at 308 m, which although acceptable, it suggests the aircraft landed slightly beyond the point where optimal braking efficiency begins. The touchdown speed itself at 120 kt, was marginally faster than expected, but it was the touchdown rate which stood out as particularly concerning. A touchdown rate of -511 fpm can be deemed very hard.
One notable strength of the landing lies in its alignment with the runway. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment proved to be very good, resulting in the aircraft being on course even before it touched down. The local weather conditions also contributed to a smoother landing, as a light wind, with a wind speed of 5 kt at 260° was recorded.
A slightly concerning aspect of the landing was the runway rollout alignment. At 9.1 meters off centreline the aircraft failed to keep perfectly straight after landing, resulting in a relatively minor, but still unacceptable, deviation from the ideal.
