Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 125 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 142 kt against a rotation target of 125 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 125 kt.

Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,571 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,282 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at General Mitchell International Airport (KMKE) took approximately 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 07R, utilizing 2,890 feet, or 37% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 142 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 64°F, with a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 270°.
As the aircraft climbed out of KMKE, it began its enroute climb phase, reaching an altitude of 25,006 feet above sea level (asl) after a 10-minute climb from 1,757 feet asl. This ascent covered a distance of 57 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 25,006 feet asl for 33 minutes while covering 274 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced 3 miles northeast of Cambridge, Ontario, Canada, and involved a descent from 25,002 feet asl to 2,987 feet asl, a decrease of 22,015 feet in 14 minutes, covering 83 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at Buffalo Niagara International Airport (KBUF) was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 224.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,290 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft landed on runway 23 at KBUF, utilizing 40% of the 7,571-foot runway. The touchdown distance was 1,284 feet, and the touchdown speed was 109 knots, slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 115 knots. The touchdown rate was -238 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 28 feet from the centerline. Following a short taxiing period of less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft came to a stop. The total flight distance was 433 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 69 minutes and a fuel consumption of 6,449 pounds.
The aircraft, C750, successfully completed a landing on runway 23 at KBUF Buffalo Niagara International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency. The approach from the north east, heading 224.0° at 4 nm and 1,290 ft above ground level, showcased good approach quality, with the pilot maintaining a stable and controlled descent. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 115 kt was within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 109 kt was slightly above the ideal, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -238 fpm. The touchdown distance of 1,284 ft was within the acceptable range, and the aircraft came to rest on the runway. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 28 ft from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a light headwind of 1 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,999 ft, which accounted for approximately 40% of the runway length, was satisfactory. During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centre, deviating by 27 ft from the centreline. Despite these minor deviations, the overall performance of the landing earned a score of 96.8%, demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency on the part of the pilot.
