Improve the landing
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 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 6,101 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,746 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 06 at KACK Nantucket Memorial Airport, with a takeoff distance of 3,756 feet, which accounted for 65% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 78°F temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 81°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of KACK Nantucket Memorial Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,076 feet above sea level to 38,238 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,162 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 135 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 48 miles southeast of 35ME Matinicus Island Airport, and it lasted for 84 minutes, covering a distance of 2,513 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 5 miles southwest of Castletown, where it descended from 39,525 feet above sea level to 1,302 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,223 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at EGNH Blackpool International Airport was made from the east, heading 275.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,261 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 28 was successful, with a touchdown point 1,364 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 113 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -76 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 62°F temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots at 309°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 9 knots. The total landing distance was 4,334 feet, which accounted for 71% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 2,721 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 119 minutes. The aircraft used 10,836 pounds of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at EGNH Blackpool International Airport, achieving a score of 94.0%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 275.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 28, which has a length of 6,101 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 132 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to prioritize a safe landing over a precise touchdown speed.
The touchdown point was 1,364 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant distance. The touchdown speed of 113 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, which may have contributed to the extended touchdown distance. On the positive side, the touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -76 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and quickly, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft or the runway.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, being 11 feet off the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a miscalculation by the pilot. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to quickly and smoothly align the aircraft with the runway after touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from 309°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing, but the pilot was able to successfully navigate the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement. The pilot should focus on achieving a more precise touchdown speed and aligning the aircraft with the runway centerline. With some adjustments to the approach and landing technique, the pilot can achieve an even higher score and improve the overall safety and efficiency of the landing.
