Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 16 ft off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 2.2° of bank in the first climb segment and 17° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.4 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: glideslope 1.9° against the runway's 3°.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.9° off, against a 1° limit and speed 9 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 123 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,998 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,090 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The C750 taxied from the parking area to runway 15 at PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport in 9 minutes, covering 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 15, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 145 kt and left the ground after a takeoff distance of 3,156 ft, which represented 28 % of the runway. Local weather at the time was 61 °F with a wind of 4 kt from 188°, a crosswind component of 1 kt and a headwind component of 3 kt.
The initial climb began overhead PANC, climbing from 312 ft asl to 44,000 ft asl, an increase of 43,688 ft achieved in 22 minutes while covering 146 nm.
Level cruise commenced 13 mi west of PAFW Farewell Airport and continued for 13 minutes, during which 111 nm were flown.
The first descent started 41 mi west of Z17 Ophir Airport, descending from 43,999 ft asl to 28,991 ft asl, a loss of 15,008 ft in 9 minutes and covering 72 nm.
A subsequent cruise segment began 8 mi east of Unalakleet, lasting 7 minutes and encompassing 47 nm.
The next climb originated 24 mi south-west of XXLY Lyatayet Cape Denbigh, climbing from 29,000 ft asl to 33,394 ft asl, an increase of 4,394 ft in 3 minutes while traveling 27 nm.
Following that, a cruise phase started 18 mi south of GLV Golovin, lasting 5 minutes and covering 38 nm.
The second descent began 10 mi south-west of AK26 Solomon State Field, descending from 34,010 ft asl to 1,109 ft asl, a decrease of 32,902 ft in 14 minutes and covering 78 nm.
For the final approach to runway 10 at PAOM Nome Airport, the aircraft approached from the west on a heading of 109.0° at 4 nm and 1,075 ft agl.
Landing on runway 10, which is 5,998 ft long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 120 kt. Touchdown occurred at 1,090 ft down the runway with a speed of 119 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 661 fpm. The total landing distance was 2,892 ft, representing 48 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was reported as very good. Local weather at the time was 59 °F with a wind of 14 kt from 150°, a crosswind component of 9 kt and a headwind component of 11 kt.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 526 nm, required 87 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 4 lb of fuel.
The C750 established a final approach to runway 10 at PAOM Nome Airport from the west, tracking a heading of 109.0° at 4 nm and 1,075 ft agl. Local weather reported a temperature of 59 °F, wind 14 kt from 150°, providing a 9 kt crosswind component and an 11 kt headwind.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 120 kt, setting up the flare with the expected parameters.
Touchdown occurred 1,090 ft down the runway, a distance described as good, while the touchdown speed of 119 kt was noted as fast. The vertical profile was heavy at -661 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was very good. Total landing distance measured 2,892 ft, representing 48 % of the available runway.
Rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft tracking the centreline to a stop without deviation.
Reduce the touchdown speed to bring it closer to the target value and moderate the descent rate to avoid a heavy vertical profile; these adjustments will tighten the landing performance while preserving the high overall score.
