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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,518 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 896 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Waco Regional Airport (KACT), the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 9 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 32, the departure roll commenced, with the aircraft utilizing 2,655 feet of the 5,100-foot runway, representing 52% of its length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 137 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from an altitude of 1,302 feet above sea level to 12,016 feet, a vertical increase of 10,714 feet, within a timeframe of 4 minutes and covering a distance of 20 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 16 minutes and covering 116 nautical miles, before initiating the enroute descent phase. The descent from 12,500 feet to 1,589 feet, a decrease of 10,911 feet, was completed within 8 minutes and a distance of 40 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 17 at F17 Center Mun, aligning itself with the runway from the north at a heading of 171.0°, 4 nautical miles from the threshold and 1,270 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 17, utilizing 40% of the 5,528-foot runway, with a touchdown distance of 892 feet and a touchdown speed of 110 knots, slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 106 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -383 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 183 nautical miles, completed within 35 minutes, and the aircraft utilized 6,449 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, C750, successfully executed a final approach to runway 17 at F17 Center Mun from the north, aligning with the heading of 171.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 116 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down at a speed of 110 knots, slightly above the ideal touchdown speed, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -383 feet per minute.
The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a touchdown distance of 892 feet, well within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of precision and control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind of 2 knots at 270°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment, allowing for a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with perfect alignment along the centerline of the runway. The total landing distance of 2,223 feet, accounting for 40% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing performance of C750 was exceptional, with a score of 98.0%, reflecting the high level of skill and precision displayed by the pilot during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
