Flight Score
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 36 ft, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 34 ft.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and 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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,984 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 671 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KDVT Phoenix Deer Valley Airport took approximately 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 07R, utilizing 2,688 feet, or 42% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 137 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 62°F and a gentle tailwind of 2 knots from a direction of 269°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile east of KDVT, rising from an initial altitude of 2,345 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 25,003 feet, an increase of 22,658 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase followed, commencing 1 mile west of Mesa del Caballo, Arizona, and lasting 45 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 389 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it initiated its enroute descent 7 miles southwest of Lux Field Hartsel, Colorado, descending from 25,002 feet to 6,698 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30R at KBJC Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport was conducted from the southeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 305.0° at an altitude of 1,024 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed on the 8,984-foot runway, with a touchdown distance of 663 feet, slightly above the target threshold speed of 113 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 108 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -115 feet per minute. The aircraft touched down 41 feet off-centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, by 40 feet from the centerline. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 512 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 72 minutes and a fuel consumption of 238 pounds.
The final approach to runway 30R at KBJC Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport was executed from the south east, heading 305.0° at 4 nm and 1,024 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height allowing for a controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 113 kt, indicating a slightly slower than desired approach.
The aircraft touched down on the runway at 108 kt, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -115 fpm. The touchdown distance of 663 ft was good, indicating a well-controlled approach. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 41 ft from the centreline, which could have been a result of a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a 2 kt headwind, did not significantly impact the approach.
The total landing distance of 2,241 ft was 25% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 40 ft from the centreline, which was consistent with the initial touchdown position. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 94.8%. While there were some minor deviations from the desired approach and touchdown characteristics, the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft throughout the landing.
