Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 172 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 211 fpm.
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.
One stabilised approach gate: six checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and 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 3,768 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 863 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway at CYFB Iqaluit Airport, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 34, with a takeoff distance of 770 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 128 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -12°C, with a wind speed of 20 knots at 340°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 18 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of CYFB Iqaluit Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,091 feet above sea level to 33,497 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,407 feet, in 18 minutes and covering 117 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began at a latitude of 64.8083113 and a longitude of -72.4834886, and lasted for 227 minutes, covering 1,896 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, beginning 6 miles southeast of FVSK Skelton, and descended from 34,241 feet above sea level to 14,577 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,664 feet, in 5 minutes and covering 38 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 10 miles south of AK59 King Ranch Airport Sutton, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began again, this time starting 8 miles northeast of AK66 Hunter Creek Airport Palmer, and descended from 14,548 feet above sea level to 1,893 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,655 feet, in 7 minutes and covering 36 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead PAFR Bryant Army Airfield Fort Richardson, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering 16 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 07R at PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport was made from the west, heading 91.0° at 4 nautical miles and 829 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 07R was characterized by a touchdown point that was 439 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 120 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was good at -171 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.4 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -11°C, with a wind speed of 23 knots at 20°. This resulted in a crosswind of 21 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,345 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 2,121 nautical miles, taking a total of 286 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,439 kilograms of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 07R at PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, but the landing was not without its imperfections. The aircraft's final approach was initiated from the west, heading 91.0° at 4 nautical miles and 829 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was scored at 80.6%, indicating a decent performance but room for improvement.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 439 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the target. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was also faster than the target, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to fully control the aircraft's descent. However, the touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute (fpm) was good, suggesting that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's vertical speed effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were challenging, with a temperature of -11°C and a wind speed of 23 knots at 20°. The crosswind component was 21 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. These conditions would have required the pilot to make adjustments to the aircraft's approach and landing configuration to ensure a safe and stable touchdown.
One of the notable issues with the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 13.4 meters. This misalignment was also evident during the runway rollout, where the aircraft was off-centerline by 16.4 meters. These deviations suggest that the pilot may have had difficulty maintaining a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft safely to the ground. However, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of controlling the aircraft's descent speed and maintaining a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
