Flight Score
Speed on the fast side
Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,477 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 406 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 18C at KMEM Memphis International Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 18C, the Cessna 750 Citation X accelerated through a takeoff distance of 3,871 ft, representing 35 % of the runway, and lifted off at 145 kt. Ambient conditions were 61 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 206°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of KMEM, with the aircraft ascending from 701 ft asl to 25,004 ft asl, a gain of 24,303 ft achieved in 10 minutes while covering 52 nm.
The first level cruise began 2 miles southwest of 2TN2 Wings Field, Whiteville, and persisted for 37 minutes, during which 318 nm were flown.
Descent started 4 miles west of 3IS9 Grand Tower Heliport, Grand Tower, with altitude decreasing from 25,001 ft asl to 2,515 ft asl, a loss of 22,486 ft in 13 minutes over a distance of 77 nm.
A second cruise segment was initiated 1 mile south of LL10 Naper Aero Club Airport, Naperville, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
The subsequent descent began 2 miles east of Aurora, Illinois, dropping from 2,555 ft asl to 1,967 ft asl, a reduction of 587 ft in 2 minutes across 5 nm.
Final approach to runway 27 at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport was conducted from the east, on a heading of 269.0° at 4 nm and 1,252 ft agl, followed by a further descent from 1,297 ft agl to 22 ft agl completed in 103 seconds, with the aircraft meeting the stabilization gates.
Landing on runway 27, which is 6,477 ft long, occurred with a threshold speed of 109 kt (slightly below target). Touchdown was recorded at 405 ft from the threshold, at 106 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 192 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 27 ft from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 57 °F, wind 2 kt from 206°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind. Total landing distance was 2,200 ft, representing 34 % of the runway.
The rollout continued with a slight centreline deviation of 30 ft and concluded the landing phase.
Taxi-in from the runway to the parking area required 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 468 nm, lasted 68 (units as provided), and consumed 0 lbs of fuel.
The Cessna 750 Citation X entered the final approach to runway 27 at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport from the east on a heading of 269.0° at 4 nm and 1,252 ft agl, descending from 1,297 ft agl to 22 ft agl in 103 seconds. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, being more than 20 kt above VREF, while local weather was 57 °F with wind 2 kt from 206°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 109 kt.
Touchdown occurred 405 ft down the runway at a speed of 106 kt, which was good, with a touchdown rate of -192 fpm also rated good; however the touchdown point was misaligned by 27 ft from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 2,200 ft, representing 34 % of the 6,477 ft runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 30 ft from the centreline.
With a final score of 74.9 %, focus should be placed on achieving a stabilised approach speed within VREF limits by the 1,000 ft gate, and on refining centreline tracking to reduce the 27-ft and 30-ft misalignments observed at touchdown and rollout.
