Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 130 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 152 kt, 22 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 130 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,649 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 501 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing McGhee Tyson Airport (KTYS) on runway 23L, the aircraft accelerated down the 7,500-foot-long runway, reaching liftoff speed of 152 kt in 1,095 meters, or 42% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 24 °C, with a wind of 21 kt at 280°, resulting in a crosswind of 17 kt and a headwind of 12 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Alcoa, Tennessee, and continued to ascend to a cruise altitude of 23,440 ft asl, an increase of 21,474 ft in 8 minutes, covering 47 nm. The enroute level cruise phase started 7 miles south of Newport, Tennessee, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 27 nm. Subsequently, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent 4 miles north of the Barker Private STOL Airport in Asheville, North Carolina, and descended to 2,256 ft asl, a decrease of 21,168 ft in 17 minutes, covering 94 nm. The final approach to runway 18L at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT) was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 176.0° at 4 nm and 1,503 ft agl.
The landing on runway 18L at KCLT was notable for its excessive threshold speed of 156 kt and touchdown speed of 146 kt, which was also excessively fast. The touchdown point was 95 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 m from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,417 m, or 53% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 177 nm, with a total flight time of 35 minutes and a fuel consumption of 645 kg.
The final approach to runway 18L at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport from the north was initiated at 4 nm and 1,503 ft above ground level, heading 176.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 156 kt, indicating a potential for a long rollout.
The aircraft touched down 95 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 146 kt, which was also excessively fast. The touchdown rate of -235 fpm was fair, indicating a relatively smooth descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway rollout alignment of 7.8 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance of 1,417 m was 53% of the runway length, indicating a relatively long rollout. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30 °C and wind at 13 kt from 230°, resulted in a crosswind of 11 kt and a headwind of 8 kt. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 89.3%.
