Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,266 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 725 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the M500 started at Anahim Lake (CAJ4) with a departure roll on Runway 31. The takeoff distance was 1,059 meters, which accounted for 89% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 99 knots. The local weather at the departure airport was 9 °C with a 10 knot wind coming from 143°, resulting in a 1 knot crosswind and a 10 knot tailwind during takeoff.
During the enroute climb, which began 3 miles northwest of Anahim Lake, the aircraft climbed from 4,582 feet above sea level to 4,906 feet above sea level in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles northwest of Anahim Lake and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The landing took place on Runway 15 at Terrace (CYXT), with a runway length of 2,266 meters. The height at the threshold was 68 feet above ground level, and the speed at the threshold was 89 knots. The touchdown occurred 725 meters from the runway threshold at a speed of 77 knots, with a vertical speed indicator showing -103 feet per minute. The local weather at the destination airport was 12 °C with a 14 knot wind coming from 140°, resulting in a 7 knot crosswind and a 12 knot headwind during landing. The total landing distance was 1,391 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway.
After landing, taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the total flight distance was 181 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 72 minutes. The aircraft used 155 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
While there are areas that need improvement, such as the poor descent path during the Approach Phase and the very poor landing flare during the Landing Phase, there are also some positive aspects to consider.
During the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was smooth, and while the speed was a little above target, this can be adjusted with practice. However, it is important to note that the touchdown point was 290 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a need for improvement in precision landing. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was 19.4 meters from the centerline, which also needs to be addressed to ensure proper alignment.
During the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was 19.4 meters from the centerline, which is another area that requires improvement to ensure a safe and efficient landing.
Overall, while the landing score of 79.9% is below target, there are specific areas identified that can be worked on for improvement. Practice and focus on precision landing, proper alignment, and descent path during the approach will help in achieving a higher landing score in the future. Keep practicing and seeking feedback to continue to improve your aircraft landing skills.
