MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on the approach so your speed is back to 117 kt well before the stabilisation gate.
What happened: This flight was fast at the stabilisation gate, then crossed the threshold high on a shallow descent and 9 kt above VREF; carrying that extra speed through to the threshold usually carries the touchdown long, and this flight touched down 967 m past the target point.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 117 kt at the threshold.
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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 52 kt FAST on the reference speed of 117 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 30 kt FAST on the reference speed of 117 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,862 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,862 m of the 3,504 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,424 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 750 Citation X taxied from the parking area to runway 22R at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 22R, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 743 m, representing 26 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 135 kt. Ambient conditions were 28 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 134°, providing a 2 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt headwind.
The climb commenced 1 mile east of Elizabeth, New Jersey, with the aircraft climbing from 1,038 ft asl to 31,162 ft asl, an altitude gain of 30,123 ft achieved in 16 minutes while covering 93 nm.
Level cruise began 2 miles north of Lowes Island, Virginia, and was maintained for 8 minutes, during which the aircraft traveled 30 nm.
Descent was initiated 1 mile southeast of Wernersville, Pennsylvania, descending from 31,294 ft asl to 3,800 ft asl, a loss of 27,494 ft over 18 minutes and a distance of 102 nm.
The final approach to runway 01R at KIAD Washington Dulles International Airport was flown from the south, on a heading of 1.0°, at 4 nm from the threshold and 1,348 ft agl.
Landing on runway 01R, which is 3,504 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 117 ft agl and a threshold speed of 127 kt. The touchdown point was 1,004 m beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed was 108 kt, and the vertical speed was minus 196 fpm. The touchdown location was offset 8.7 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 27 °C, wind 11 kt from 140°, a 7 kt crosswind component and an 8 kt tailwind component.
The aircraft rolled out a total landing distance of 2,777 m, representing 79 % of the runway, with the rollout alignment deviating 8.3 m from the centreline.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 233 nm, lasted 52 minutes, and consumed 712 kg of fuel.
The Cessna 750 Citation X approached runway 01R at Washington Dulles International (KIAD) from the south on a final approach at a heading of 1.0° while 4 nm out and 1,348 ft above ground level; the aircraft carried a score of 77.4 % and encountered temperature 27 °C, wind 11 kt from 140°, a 7 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt tail-wind component.
At the threshold the aircraft was at 117 ft agl, which was excessively over target, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 127 kt.
Touchdown occurred 1,004 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 108 kt that was a little fast; the vertical rate was good at minus 196 fpm and the touchdown point was misaligned by 8.7 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance measured 2,777 m, representing 79 % of the 3,504 m runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.3 m from the centreline.
Focus on reducing the excess threshold height and speed to bring the aircraft closer to target values, and aim to achieve a touchdown point nearer the intended zone with tighter centreline alignment to improve overall landing precision.
