Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,329 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 538 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 34 at the East Hampton Airport, located in the town of East Hampton. The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 467 meters, which accounted for 74% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 119 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from a point 1 mile southeast of Sag Harbor, New York. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 1,070 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 17,108 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,039 feet in just 7 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 24 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Long Hill, Connecticut. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from a point 1 mile west of Preston City, Connecticut, and descended from an altitude of 16,705 feet above sea level to 13,990 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,715 feet in 2 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southeast of Plainfield, Connecticut. This phase lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 51 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from a point 1 mile west of Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, and descended from an altitude of 14,017 feet above sea level to 4,251 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,766 feet in 5 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Winthrop, Massachusetts. This phase lasted for 15 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from a point 1 mile north of Sharon, Massachusetts, and descended from an altitude of 4,014 feet above sea level to 1,312 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,702 feet in 5 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at Logan International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 20.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 04R, which had a length of 2,329 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 113 knots.
The touchdown point was 110 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 98 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -167 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.
The total landing distance was 819 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.1 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 134 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 58 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 420 kilograms of fuel during the
The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport, achieving a score of 92.8%. The final approach to runway 04R was initiated from the south, with a heading of 20.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed that was well above the target at 113 knots. However, the touchdown point was located 110 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 98 knots was slightly faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -167 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 819 meters was 35% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.1 meters from the centerline, suggesting a minor deviation from the intended path.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the intended landing spot and speed. The pilots' ability to maintain control and stability throughout the approach and landing was evident, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory in the given weather conditions.
