What went well

Touched down at -204 fpm — a soft arrival
1.17 G at touchdown — inside band
Lifted off at 139 kt — on the 125 kt target

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, Threshold height at 75 ft agl was well above target at 56 %, −1.50 points
Departure Taxi — peak taxi speed 39 kt at 57 %, −1.15 points
Arrival Final 4 — Approach angle 3.9 ° at 47 %, −0.66 points

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 5.3 m off the runway centreline.

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

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 27 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.

What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 27 ft down to touchdown.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 27 ft to touchdown.

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.

Landing on runway 01 at YBTL Townsville Airport / RAAF Base Townsville in the Cessna 750 Citation X
Landing Score 86.23 %
Landing Summary

Aircraft C750 successfully landed at YBTL Townsville Airport / RAAF Base Townsville, achieving an overall score of 86.2%. The final approach to runway 01 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 25.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,796 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being well above the target, indicating a safe margin for landing. The threshold speed was also satisfactory, reaching 125 knots. However, the touchdown point was located 344 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.

The touchdown speed of 116 knots was slightly faster than the desired speed, resulting in a touchdown rate of -204 feet per minute (fpm), which was considered fair. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.8 meters from the centerline, which may require adjustments in the landing approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was negligible at 0 knots.

The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,670 meters, which accounted for approximately 68% of the runway length. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown. Overall, while there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, the aircraft C750 successfully landed at YBTL Townsville Airport / RAAF Base Townsville.
