MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 169 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 144 kt against a target of 169 kt, running 25 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 169 kt.
Arrival
Steepen the descent on final to bring the aircraft back down to the glideslope and cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: The approach was flown off the glideslope, and crossing the threshold high like this usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Watch the VASI or PAPI glideslope indication against the threshold crossing height of 50 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 500 ft gate: glideslope 1.1° against the runway's 3° and centreline 2.1° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,989 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,459 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Billings Logan International Airport (KBIL), the aircraft began its journey with a taxiing period of 12 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 10L, with a takeoff distance of 2,697 feet, accounting for 26% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 131 knots, amidst local weather conditions of 85°F temperature and a 9-knot wind at 89°.
As the aircraft climbed to 44,013 feet above sea level, it covered 117 nautical miles in 18 minutes, demonstrating a significant increase in altitude. The enroute climb phase concluded overhead KBIL, marking the beginning of the level cruise phase. This phase lasted for 14 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 110 nautical miles, cruising at a steady altitude. The descent phase commenced 9 miles north of Camas Airport (MT73), with the aircraft descending from 44,005 feet to 5,501 feet above sea level in 25 minutes, covering 162 nautical miles. The final descent phase started 1 mile south-east of Country Homes, with the aircraft touching down on runway 21 at Spokane International Airport (KGEG) after a total flight distance of 427 nautical miles.
The landing on runway 21 was executed with a touchdown distance of 1,460 feet, accounting for 29% of the runway length. The threshold height was well above target, and the threshold speed was satisfactory at 120 knots. However, the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 114 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -457 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 30 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned. The aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight duration was 79 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 4 pounds.
The aircraft, C750, initiated its final approach to runway 21 at KGEG Spokane International Airport from the north east, aligning with the heading of 226.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,189 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 73 feet above ground level, well above the target, indicating a stable and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 120 knots was within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's energy.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 1,460 feet was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. However, the touchdown speed of 114 knots was slightly above the target, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -457 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 30 feet from the centreline, which was also reflected in the runway rollout alignment, where the aircraft remained slightly misaligned by 30 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 90°F and a wind of 13 knots at 190°, contributed to a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance of 3,168 feet, which accounted for 29% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing performance of C750 scored 86.3%, indicating a good but not exceptional landing. The slight misalignment of the touchdown and rollout positions, combined with the hard touchdown rate, prevented the landing from being considered exceptional. Nevertheless, the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
