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 33 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,954 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,253 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 to the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 30L at KSTL St. Louis Lambert International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,313 feet, which was 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead KSTL St. Louis Lambert International Airport, rising from 1,606 feet above sea level to 7,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,401 feet in just 3 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles north of 3SQ St Charles St Charles, Illinois, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering 73 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 2 miles northeast of Lebanon, Illinois, descending from 6,325 feet above sea level to 2,156 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,168 feet in 3 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 2 miles northwest of Freeburg, Illinois, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 30L at KCPS St Louis Downtown Airport was from the southeast, heading 302.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,253 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 30L at KCPS St Louis Downtown Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,248 feet, which was 41% of the runway. The threshold speed was good at 125 knots, and the touchdown speed was 117 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -277 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 2,848 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 111 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 31 minutes, with no fuel consumption.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KCPS St Louis Downtown Airport, achieving a score of 99.4%. The final approach to runway 30L was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 302.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 125 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 1,248 feet, but the touchdown speed of 117 knots was slightly higher than desired. The touchdown rate of -277 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft's ability to handle these conditions was not significantly impacted.
The total landing distance of 2,848 feet was 41% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the runway's length of 6,954 feet. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during touchdown.
Following touchdown, the aircraft's rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and stability during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with the only minor issue being the slightly high touchdown speed.
