Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,253 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 395 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Citation CJ3+ aircraft, registered as N60US, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LCPH Paphos International Airport. This process took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 29, with a takeoff distance of 466 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 110 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 59 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead LCPH Paphos International Airport. The climb took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 81 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,034 feet above sea level to 41,037 feet above sea level, an increase of 40,003 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 79 miles west of Pegeia, Paphos District, Cyprus. This phase lasted for 28 minutes and covered a distance of 657 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 72 miles southeast of Roccella Ionica, Calabria, Italy. The descent took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 79 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 40,978 feet above sea level to 15,651 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,328 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 22 miles south of Bova Marina, Calabria, Italy. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 27 miles south of Roghudi, Calabria, Italy. The descent took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 30 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 15,273 feet above sea level to 1,289 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,984 feet.
The final approach to runway 26 at LICC Catania-Fontanarossa Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 264.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,249 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 92 knots and a touchdown distance of 383 meters. The touchdown rate was excellent at -99 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 257 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 862 nautical miles, which was covered in 86 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,204 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Citation CJ3+ aircraft, registered as N60US, successfully landed at Catania-Fontanarossa Airport (LICC) with a score of 92.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 264.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,249 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 26, which has a length of 2,253 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 101 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 383 meters. The touchdown speed of 92 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -99 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor error in navigation. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been caused by a slight drift during the rollout.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 257°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment during the rollout.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within 37% of the runway length, covering a total distance of 835 meters. While there were some minor issues with the alignment, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were able to compensate for these deviations, resulting in a safe and controlled landing.
