Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.5°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 7,494 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 414 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 28 at the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,574 feet, which was 27% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 63 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, with a headwind of 2 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and involved ascending from an altitude of 1,152 feet above sea level to 15,404 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,252 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 2 miles northwest of the MD95 Reservoir Airport and lasted for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 169 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 3 miles northwest of the 1NK8 Chenango Bridge Airport and involved descending from an altitude of 15,007 feet above sea level to 1,653 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,354 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33 at the Syracuse Hancock International Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 314.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,231 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed on a runway length of 7,494 feet, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also good at 121 knots, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 118 knots, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -461 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 25 feet.
The total landing distance was 2,959 feet, which was 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 33 feet. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 249 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 51 minutes and a fuel consumption of 187 pounds.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at KSYR Syracuse Hancock International Airport, achieving a score of 93.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 314.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,231 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, touching down on runway 33, which has a length of 7,494 feet.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 121 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown speed of 118 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a harder-than-desired touchdown rate of -461 feet per minute (fpm). This could potentially put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and other components.
The aircraft's touchdown position was slightly misaligned with the runway centerline by 25 feet, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind of 1 knot each.
The total landing distance of 2,959 feet was within the acceptable range, accounting for 39% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centerline, indicating a minor issue with the pilot's control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
