Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,481 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,428 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 25 at KCAD Wexford County Airport in a duration of 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 25, the takeoff run measured 2,186 ft, representing 44 % of the runway length, and liftoff was achieved at 142 kt. Ambient conditions were 62 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile southwest of KCAD, with the aircraft ascending from 2,400 ft asl to 14,445 ft asl, a gain of 12,045 ft in 5 minutes while traversing 23 nm.
The first cruise segment began about 3 miles southeast of 7Y2 Thompsonville Airport and continued for 11 minutes, during which 76 nm were covered at level flight.
Descent was initiated roughly 1 mile northwest of 30WI Chambers Island Airport, descending from 15,005 ft asl to 2,476 ft asl, a loss of 12,529 ft in 8 minutes over a distance of 46 nm.
A second level-cruise phase started 7 miles east of Powers, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm before the final approach.
The final approach to runway 09 at KESC Delta County Airport was flown from the west on a heading of 91.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,278 ft agl.
Landing on runway 09 was executed with a threshold speed of 117 kt; the aircraft touched down 1,036 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 107 kt and a firm rate of minus 325 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 31 ft from the centreline, and the total landing distance recorded was 3,557 ft, equivalent to 55 % of the runway. Runway rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 29 ft. Weather at the time was 59 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, no cross-wind and a tail-wind component of 2 kt.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 157 nm, took 31 minutes, and consumed 0 lbs of fuel.
The final approach to runway 09 at KESC Delta County Airport from the west was initiated at 4 nm and 1,278 ft above ground level, heading 91.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 74 ft above ground level, which was well above the target. The threshold speed of 117 kt was good, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 1,036 ft beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 107 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -325 fpm was firm, suggesting a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 31 ft from the centreline, which could have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59 °F and a wind of 2 kt at 270°, were relatively calm, with no significant crosswind or tailwind.
The total landing distance of 3,557 ft was 55% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 29 ft from the centreline, which was consistent with the initial touchdown position. Overall, the landing performance of Aircraft C750 scored 84.4%, reflecting a good but not exceptional performance.
