Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 21 ft off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 118 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.

What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 113 kt against a VREF of 118 kt.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 118 kt at the stabilisation gate.

See Arrival Approach

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.

Flight narrative

The Cessna 750 Citation X taxied from the parking area to runway 20 at HELX Luxor International Airport in 10 minutes, covering 4 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 20, the aircraft used 3,925 ft of runway (40 % of the available length) and lifted off at 141 kt; ambient temperature was 87 °F with a wind of 3 kt from 189°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.

The initial climb began overhead HELX, climbing from 1,413 ft asl to 48,008 ft asl-a gain of 46,594 ft-over 23 minutes while traversing 166 nm.

A level cruise segment commenced 44 mi south of HE38 Abu Rish Valley Airport, lasting 3 minutes and covering 27 nm.

The first descent started 18 mi south of HE38, descending from 47,997 ft asl to 7,992 ft asl, a loss of 40,005 ft in 23 minutes and spanning 165 nm.

A second cruise phase began 10 mi northwest of Abu al Matamir, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.

The next descent was initiated 6 mi south of Alexandria, dropping from 8,012 ft asl to 3,316 ft asl-a decrease of 4,697 ft-in 3 minutes and covering 14 nm.

A brief climb followed 12 mi north of HEAX Borj El Arab International Airport, gaining 769 ft from 3,285 ft asl to 4,054 ft asl in 2 minutes while traveling 7 nm.

Subsequently, a descent began 6 mi north of HEAX, descending from 4,061 ft asl to 636 ft asl, a loss of 3,425 ft in 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.

The final approach to runway 14R at HEAX was executed from the northwest, on a heading of 150.0° at 1 nm and 469 ft agl.

Landing on runway 14R, which is 11,318 ft long, the aircraft encountered a threshold height of 102 ft agl (excessively over target) and a threshold speed of 113 kt (slightly below target). Touchdown occurred 608 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 107 kt, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 536 fpm and a lateral deviation of 12 ft from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 73 °F, wind 2 kt from 180°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component.

The landing roll measured 3,333 ft, representing 29 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.

After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 7 minutes, covering 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 399 nm, required 72 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 2,086 lbs of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Cessna 750 Citation X, scoring 77.3%, conducted the final approach to runway 14R at HEAX Borj El Arab International Airport from the north-west on a heading of 150.0° at 1 nm and 469 ft AGL.

At the runway threshold the aircraft was at 102 ft AGL, which was excessively over target, and the threshold speed was 113 kt, slightly below target.

Touchdown occurred 608 ft beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 107 kt, judged good, but the vertical rate was very hard at minus 536 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 12 ft from the centreline.

The total landing distance was 3,333 ft, representing 29 % of the 11,318 ft runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.

Future approaches should aim to achieve the correct threshold height to avoid excessive altitude at the runway threshold. Adjusting flare timing to reduce the vertical rate will produce a smoother touchdown and keep the touchdown point within the intended zone.
