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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,493 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 915 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 27 at the Aurora Municipal Airport, KARR. The takeoff distance was 2,368 feet, which accounted for 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 0 and 1 knots, respectively. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the J Maddock Airport in Big Rock, Illinois. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,709 feet above sea level to 19,831 feet, an increase of 18,122 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 53 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile west of the Cady Aerial Restricted Landing Area in Rock Falls, Illinois. This phase lasted for 31 minutes and covered a distance of 236 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles east of New Market, Iowa. During this descent, the aircraft decreased its altitude from 19,825 feet to 2,062 feet, a decrease of 17,763 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32L at Eppley Airfield, KOMA, was made from the southeast, heading 325.0°, at an altitude of 1,066 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 32L, which had a length of 9,493 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 118 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 915 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 114 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -231 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 45 feet from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 47 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°, with a crosswind and headwind component of 1 knot each. The total landing distance was 3,332 feet, which accounted for 35% of the runway length.
The final taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 352 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 58 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,672 pounds of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KOMA Eppley Airfield, achieving a score of 93.7%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 325.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,066 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 32L, which has a length of 9,493 feet.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 118 knots was also within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 114 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -231 feet per minute (fpm). This rate is not ideal, as it suggests that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 45 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a miscalculation of the runway alignment. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
The total landing distance of 3,332 feet was 35% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 47 feet from the centreline, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight path during the rollout phase.
Overall, while Aircraft C750's landing was not perfect, it demonstrated a high level of proficiency and control. With some adjustments to the approach path and touchdown speed, the aircraft could potentially achieve an even higher score in future landings.
