Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 11 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 11 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Arrival
Reduce power on final so the aircraft arrives at 122 kt over the threshold instead of carrying excess speed.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 128 kt against a 122 kt target usually carries extra energy into the flare as a balloon, and the sink that returns afterward usually arrives hard at touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 122 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 2,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 759 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 04R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, with a takeoff distance of 974 meters, which was 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 140 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 0°C, with a wind speed of 24 knots at a direction of 109°. This resulted in a crosswind of 23 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,095 feet above sea level to 43,012 feet above sea level, an increase of 41,917 feet, in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Neustadt in Holstein, Germany, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began, starting 1 mile southeast of Binnen, Germany, and descended from an altitude of 42,629 feet above sea level to 1,615 feet above sea level, a decrease of 41,013 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 125 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport was made from the northeast, heading 233.0°, at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,479 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 23L, which had a length of 2,395 meters. The threshold height was significantly above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 128 knots.
The touchdown point was 338 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 120 knots, which was fast, and a touchdown rate of -406 feet per minute, which was hard. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 220°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,426 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 369 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 60 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 973 kilograms.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport, achieving an overall score of 84.1%. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 233.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,479 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 338 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the target. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was also faster than the target, indicating a hard touchdown. The rate of descent at -406 feet per minute (fpm) further supports this assessment, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to recover from the initial touchdown but could have done so more smoothly.
Despite the challenges, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment with the runway during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, a wind speed of 11 knots from 220°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and an 11-knot headwind.
The total landing distance of 1,426 meters was 60% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot demonstrated good control and alignment with the runway, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, the hard touchdown and fast touchdown speed suggest that the pilot may have been able to improve the landing by adjusting their approach and touchdown technique.
