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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,371 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 243 m 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 to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 16C at KSEA Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,166 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 131 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile north east of Des Moines, Washington. The climb began at an altitude of 1,272 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 40,911 feet above sea level, an increase of 39,639 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south west of Ridgefield, Washington. This phase lasted for 45 minutes and covered a distance of 356 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 12 miles east of Covelo, California, and descended from 41,176 feet above sea level to 29,566 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,610 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south west of 1Q5 Gravelly Valley Airport Potter Valley, California, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles. The descent phase began again 4 miles north east of Cloverdale, California, and the aircraft descended from 29,185 feet above sea level to 3,935 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,250 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 46 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Inverness, California, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. The descent phase began once more 6 miles south of Muir Beach, California, and the aircraft descended from 3,928 feet above sea level to 1,250 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,678 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport was made from the north west, with a heading of 118.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,231 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 115 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown distance was 245 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 140 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 750 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 598 nautical miles, which was covered in 103 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,457 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) on runway 10R, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 118.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,231 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway with a threshold height that met the required standards.
The threshold speed of 119 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the touchdown speed of 115 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate. Despite this, the touchdown rate of -391 feet per minute (fpm) was still within the acceptable range, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 140°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable. The total landing distance of 750 meters was only 22% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's speed and descent to achieve a short landing distance.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and efficiently on the runway. The high score of 97.9% reflects the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance, making this a notable achievement in aviation.
