Flight Score
Arrival
Close the throttles earlier on final so you cross the threshold at 122 kt rather than carrying excess speed.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 129 kt, 7 kt above the 122 kt target, and the nose was then only raised 1.1° in the flare, taking out little of the sink. Crossing the threshold fast like this usually carries extra energy into a flare that barely arrests the sink, and that combination usually ends in a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 122 kt at the threshold.
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.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,563 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,563 m of the 3,291 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 427 m 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 EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport took approximately 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 24R, utilizing 34% of the 2,993-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 136 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 11°C, with a wind of 13 knots at a direction of 60°, resulting in a tailwind component of 12 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, ascending from an initial altitude of 984 feet above sea level to 3,552 feet, an increase of 2,569 feet, in just 1 minute while covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 3,552 feet for 5 minutes as it covered a distance of 21 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced 1 mile south east of EDCS Saarmund Airfield, with the aircraft descending from 4,004 feet to 1,309 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport was initiated from the south west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 69.0° at an altitude of 1,148 feet above ground level while still 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target value of 129 knots, resulting in a touchdown distance of 429 meters. The touchdown speed of 121 knots was somewhat fast, while the touchdown rate of -234 feet per minute was fair. The aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.3 meters. The total landing distance of 1,473 meters accounted for 49% of the runway length, with the runway rollout alignment being very good. The total flight distance of 43 nautical miles was completed in 19 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 204 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, C750, successfully executed a final approach to runway 06L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport from the south west, aligning with the runway heading of 69.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,148 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height allowing for a controlled descent onto the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, reaching 129 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was notable, with a touchdown distance of 429 meters, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 121 knots was faster than desired, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -234 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.3 meters, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing spot. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10°C and a headwind of 11 knots, contributed to the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance of 1,473 meters, accounting for 49% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill in maintaining control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing performance of C750 scored 98.2%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
