Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power and pitch to hold the climb speed closer to target.
What happened: The climb speed during the departure climb was faster than the target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target speed.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed is back to 134 kt before the gate, not after it.
What happened: Speed control was already loose at the stabilisation gate, and this flight crossed the threshold at 149 kt against a target of 134 kt, 15 kt fast. Carrying excess speed into the gate like this usually carries straight through to a fast threshold crossing.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 134 kt by the gate and held to 134 kt at the threshold.
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 seven 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: gear still up and speed 40 kt FAST on the reference speed of 134 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 22 kt FAST on the reference speed of 134 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,233 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,233 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 165 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Learjet 35 taxied from the parking area to runway 23 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 160 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,330 m, which represented 41 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 27 °C with a wind of 14 kt from 310°, a cross-wind component of 14 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
The climb commenced 1 mile west of CYYZ, with the jet climbing from 1,608 ft asl to 7,479 ft asl, a gain of 5,871 ft achieved in 2 minutes while covering 10 nm.
Level cruise began 1 mile south-east of Mississauga and lasted 2 minutes, during which the aircraft proceeded 8 nm.
Descent started 1 mile south-west of Roncesvalles, descending from 7,765 ft asl to 1,292 ft asl, a loss of 6,473 ft in 5 minutes over a distance of 23 nm.
The final approach to runway 26 at CYTZ Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 254.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,042 ft agl.
Landing on runway 26 was executed on a runway 1,233 m long; the threshold speed was recorded at 149 kt, touchdown occurred after 168 m with a speed of 142 kt, a vertical rate of minus 255 fpm, and a lateral deviation of 7.4 m from the centreline; the total landing distance measured 987 m, equivalent to 80 % of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
In total, the flight covered 49 nm, required 17 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 180 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was flown from the north east on a heading of 231.0 ° at 0 nm and 297 ft agl. Local weather was 11 °C with wind 1 kt at 169 °, giving a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 0 kt.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was a little below target at 54 kt.
Touchdown occurred 236 m down the runway at a speed of 44 kt, a vertical rate of minus 41 fpm and perfect runway alignment. The runway length is 2,493 m and the total landing distance was 488 m, representing 20 % of the runway.
Rollout alignment was very good.
Maintain the target threshold speed on future approaches to keep the speed within the prescribed envelope; a slight increase to meet the target will preserve the excellent alignment and distance performance demonstrated in this landing.
