Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on the approach so your speed is back to 113 kt well before the stabilisation gate.
What happened: This flight was fast at the stabilisation gate, then crossed the threshold high on a shallow descent and 29 kt above VREF; carrying that extra speed through to the threshold usually carries the touchdown long, and this flight touched down 284 m past the target point.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 113 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: speed 45 kt FAST on the reference speed of 113 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 32 kt FAST on the reference speed of 113 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,600 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,600 m of the 2,439 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 741 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing McGhee Tyson Airport in Alcoa, Tennessee, the Cessna Longitude began its journey with a taxiing period of 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 23L, utilizing 1,002 meters, or 38% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 134 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 19 degrees, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and a 12-knot tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it began its ascent from 2,140 feet above sea level to 13,088 feet, an increase of 10,948 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The climb phase concluded overhead KTYS McGhee Tyson Airport, marking the beginning of the enroute level cruise. This phase lasted for 54 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 334 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 4 miles west of McCharen West Point, Mississippi, where the aircraft descended from 13,064 feet to 1,999 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,065 feet in 8 minutes, covering 38 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18 at Golden Triangle Regional Airport was initiated from the north, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 179.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,356 feet above ground level.
The Cessna Longitude landed on runway 18 at Golden Triangle Regional Airport, utilizing 62% of the 2,444-meter runway. The touchdown point was 329 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was smooth at -121 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,523 meters, and the aircraft used 1,856 kilograms of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 406 nautical miles and lasted 73 minutes.
The final approach to runway 18 at KGTR Golden Triangle Regional Airport from the north was initiated at 4 nm and 1,356 ft above ground level, heading 179.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a smooth touchdown rate of -121 fpm. However, the threshold height at 61 ft agl was above the target, indicating a slightly high approach. The threshold speed of 143 kt was excessively high, suggesting a need for adjustment in the approach configuration.
The aircraft touched down 329 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 kt, which was too fast. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.8 m from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and a 6 kt tailwind, may have contributed to the high threshold speed and touchdown speed. The total landing distance of 1,523 m was 62% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing.
The rollout phase was characterized by a slight misalignment from the centreline, with the aircraft deviating by 9.0 m. Despite this, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 85.3%. The excessive threshold speed and touchdown speed, as well as the slight deviations from the centreline, indicate areas for improvement in the approach and landing configuration.
