Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 51 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 51 ft, 5.6 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
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.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,003 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,003 ft of the 7,774 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 4,051 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

Aircraft Flight Description:
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 22 at KELP El Paso International Airport, taking off with a distance of 3,599 feet, which accounted for 34 percent of the runway. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
During takeoff, local weather conditions included a temperature of 94 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 6 knots at 60 degrees, giving a 1-knot crosswind and a 5-knot tailwind. As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Fort Bliss, Texas. The aircraft ascended from 4,922 feet above sea level to 44,523 feet, a total climb of 39,602 feet, in 21 minutes and covering 117 nautical miles.
The enroute climb levelled off 9 miles south of KLSB Lordsburg Municipal Airport Lordsburg, New Mexico, and remained at this altitude for 7 minutes, covering 53 nautical miles. As the flight continued, it began its enroute descent 14 miles northwest of Bowie, Arizona. The aircraft descended from 44,493 feet above sea level to 2,312 feet, a total decrease of 42,181 feet, in 21 minutes and covering 126 nautical miles.
Upon reaching the final approach to runway 25L at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport from the east, the aircraft was heading 270 degrees and was 4 nautical miles from the airport, with an altitude of 1,182 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 25L, which had a length of 7,774 feet. The threshold height at 103 feet above ground level was found to be excessively over target, but the touchdown speed of 120 knots was good.
The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50 percent of the available runway, with a touchdown speed of 102 knots being good and a smooth touchdown rate of -145 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 51 feet from the centreline. Local weather conditions during landing included a temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 7 knots at 260 degrees, giving a 1-knot headwind and a 6-knot crosswind.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, a process that took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 309 nautical miles, taking 70 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,882 pounds of fuel.
The aircraft, identified as C750, executed a landing on runway 25L at the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (KPHX) with an overall score of 72.1%. The aircraft followed the standard final approach from the east, maintaining a heading of 270.0 ° at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the airport and an altitude of 1,182 feet above ground level.
Key factors contributing to the execution of the landing include a final approach speed of 120 kt, which is considered acceptable. Additionally, the touchdown speed was also within normal limits at 102 kt. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of the aircraft was smooth, at -145 feet per minute. However, there were some areas where the pilot fell short of optimal performance.
The touchdown point of the aircraft landed farther back along the runway than would be considered ideal, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway. This, coupled with a threshold height that was excessively over the target at 103 feet above ground level, raises some concerns about the control and approach strategies employed by the pilot. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 51 feet from the centreline, indicating a potential issue with navigation and control.
The local weather conditions did not seem to be a significant factor in the outcome of the landing. The temperature was 100 °F, and the wind was relatively light at 7 kt from a direction of 260 °. This resulted in a relatively small crosswind component of 1 kt and a headwind component of 6 kt.
The total landing distance of 5,640 feet was 73% of the available runway, indicating that the aircraft took some time to come to a complete stop after touchdown. During this process, the aircraft's rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 47 feet from the centreline, indicating a potential issue with control and coordination during the rollout phase.
