Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 169 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 38 kt fast at 207 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 169 kt in the climb
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 41 kt FAST on the reference speed of 113 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 19 kt FAST on the reference speed of 113 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,795 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,107 ft touchdown sits inside 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 21 at KABQ Albuquerque International Sunport, a movement that required 10 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 21, the aircraft accelerated to a takeoff distance of 3,080 ft, representing 31 % of the runway, and rotated at 122 kt. Local weather was 64 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, including a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
Climb commenced 1 mile east of South Valley, NM, where the aircraft rose from 6,185 ft asl to 34,992 ft asl, an increase of 28,807 ft achieved in 12 minutes while covering 85 nm.
Level cruise began 7 miles north of Vaughn, NM, and persisted for 55 minutes, during which the flight covered 451 nm.
Descent started overhead SN16 Curtis Airport, Grant, KS, with the aircraft descending from 34,250 ft asl to 2,323 ft asl, a loss of 31,927 ft in 18 minutes and a distance of 108 nm.
Final approach to runway 31 at KFOE Topeka Regional Airport involved a descent from 1,301 ft agl to 24 ft agl in 103 seconds, and the approach was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 31, which measures 12,795 ft, was executed with a threshold speed slightly below target at 107 kt. Touchdown occurred at 1,107 ft from the threshold with a speed of 100 kt and a firm touchdown rate of minus 303 fpm; the touchdown point was misaligned by 29 ft from the centreline. Local conditions were 59 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind. Total landing distance was 3,388 ft, representing 26 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted as slightly misaligned by 33 ft from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 653 nm, required 95 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 6,422 lb of fuel.
