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: off the runway's 3° glideslope.

The 394 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 KAVP Wilkes Barre Scranton International Airport took approximately 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 04, utilizing 2,782 feet, or 37% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 143 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 63°F, with a light wind of 2 knots from a direction of 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 1,930 feet above sea level to 9,984 feet, an increase of 8,053 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering 15 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by an 11-minute enroute level cruise, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude, covering a distance of 56 nautical miles. The cruise phase concluded near Harveys Lake, Pennsylvania, where the aircraft began its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 9,984 feet to 2,045 feet, a decrease of 7,938 feet, in 8 minutes and covering 34 nautical miles. The descent phase concluded 1 mile southwest of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, where the aircraft transitioned into its final approach to runway 24 at KRVL Mifflin County Airport.
The final approach was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 229.0° at an altitude of 1,218 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft landed on runway 24, utilizing 1,819 feet, or 37% of the runway, to come to a stop. The touchdown speed of 105 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -401 feet per minute was slightly higher than desired. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 31 feet from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 51 feet from the centerline. The total flight distance was 112 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 101 pounds of fuel during the 30-minute flight.
The aircraft, C750, initiated its final approach to runway 24 at KRVL Mifflin County Airport from the north east, aligning with the runway heading of 229.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,218 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target, reaching 108 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 395 feet, with a touchdown speed of 105 knots. Although the touchdown rate was hard at -401 feet per minute, it was within acceptable limits. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 31 feet from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a light headwind of 1 knot, did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,819 feet was 37% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 51 feet from the centreline, highlighting the need for further improvement in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 92.0%, reflecting a good but not exceptional performance.
