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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 5,381 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 5,381 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 887 ft 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 12R at the KCPS St Louis Downtown Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,518 feet, which was 36% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 135 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 2 knots. As the aircraft climbed, it started to ascend from 1,386 feet above sea level to 15,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,624 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started 1 mile south of Centreville, Illinois, and continued until it reached the desired altitude. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile south of Prairie du Rocher, Illinois, and lasted for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 169 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it started its descent from 15,009 feet above sea level to 1,994 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,015 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 46 nautical miles. The descent started overhead Stokes Airport Earle in Arkansas. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which began 2 miles northwest of Lula, Mississippi, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at KCKM Fletcher Field was made from the north, with a heading of 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,420 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 18, which had a length of 5,381 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 116 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 878 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 111 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -343 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 22 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 5,500 feet, which was 102% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 544 feet from the centerline. The total flight distance was 260 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 47 minutes. The aircraft used 144 pounds of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KCKM Fletcher Field, achieving a score of 75.0%. The final approach to runway 18 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,420 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 116 kt, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 111 kt was slightly faster than ideal. The touchdown distance of 878 ft was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -343 fpm was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
Despite the good threshold height and threshold speed, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 22 ft from the centreline. This minor deviation may have been due to the aircraft's heading or the pilot's control inputs during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 kt from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 kt. The total landing distance of 5,500 ft was 102% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop.
However, the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 544 ft from the centreline. This significant deviation may have been due to the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase or the aircraft's directional stability. Despite this, the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely, indicating that the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were sufficient to manage the situation.
