Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to accelerate back to climb speed.
What happened: Climb speed was slower than the target during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against climb speed target.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 106 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 115 kt against a target of 106 kt, and touchdown followed at 700 m, well short of the 457 m aim point. Carrying extra speed over the threshold usually floats the flare and carries the touchdown point short.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, target 106 kt at the threshold.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 seven 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 500 ft gate: glideslope 2.0° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 924 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 924 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 700 m short of the threshold. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Citation CJ4 taxied from the parking area to runway 05 at CYRQ Trois-Rivières Airport, covering 2 nm in 10 minutes.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 05, using 1,629 m (59 % of runway) before liftoff at 114 kt. Local weather was temperature 18 °C, wind 5 kt from 50°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 5 kt headwind.
Climb began 1 mile north-east of CYRQ, with the jet climbing from 1,160 ft asl to 44,697 ft asl, an increase of 43,537 ft achieved in 23 minutes while covering 136 nm.
Level cruise started 10 miles south-west of Saint-Simeon and continued for 41 minutes, during which 1,062 nm were flown.
Descent commenced 76 miles south-west of Qeqertarsuatsiaat, descending from 45,007 ft asl to 2,993 ft asl, a loss of 42,014 ft over 25 minutes and 139 nm.
A second level cruise began 29 miles north-east of BGGH Nuuk Airport, lasting 7 minutes and covering 22 nm.
The next descent started 8 miles north-east of Nuuk, dropping from 2,769 ft asl to 1,530 ft asl, a decrease of 1,239 ft in 2 minutes over 4 nm.
Final approach to runway 22A at BGGH Nuuk Airport was flown from the north on a heading of 196.0°, at 4 nm and 1,247 ft agl.
A go-around was executed on runway 22A at an altitude of 61 ft agl.
The aircraft subsequently landed on runway 22A, which is 936 m long. The threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was 105 kt. Touchdown occurred 213 m down the runway at a speed of 98 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 67 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 59.7 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was temperature 9 °C, wind 9 kt from 181°, with a 3 kt crosswind and a 9 kt headwind. Total landing distance was 1,015 m, representing 108 % of runway.
Runway rollout alignment remained offset, measured at 59.8 m from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nm in 1 minute.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 1,404 nm, required 120 minutes of flight time, and consumed 1,674 kg of fuel.
The Cessna Citation CJ4 executed the final approach to runway 22A at BGGH Nuuk Airport from the north on a heading of 196.0° at 4 nm and 1,247 ft agl; the approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft established a threshold speed of 105 kt, which was well above the target, and achieved a touchdown distance of 213 m that was judged good. The touchdown speed was 98 kt, noted as a little fast, while the touchdown rate was excellent at minus 67 fpm.
At touchdown the aircraft’s speed of 98 kt and rate of minus 67 fpm were recorded, but the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 59.7 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,015 m, representing 108 % of the 936 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment remained excessively misaligned by 59.8 m from the centreline.
To improve future performance, focus on attaining the target threshold speed and maintaining centreline alignment throughout the flare and rollout, as these two areas contributed most to the deviation from optimal values.
