MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 1.6°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on the approach so your speed is back to 130 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 31 kt above VREF; carrying that extra speed through to the threshold usually carries the touchdown long, and this flight touched down 336 ft past the target point.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 130 kt at the threshold.
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: six 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 75 kt FAST on the reference speed of 130 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,582 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,582 ft of the 11,373 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,836 ft 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 05 at PADK Adak Airport, a movement that lasted 9 minutes and covered 2 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 05, using 3,467 ft of runway, which represented 44 % of the available length. Liftoff occurred at 130 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 58 °F, wind 7 kt from 241°, with a 0 kt crosswind and a 7 kt tailwind.
Climb began one mile northeast of Adak, ascending from 1,003 ft asl to 43,993 ft asl, a gain of 42,991 ft achieved in 22 minutes while covering 123 nm.
Level cruise was established at latitude 52.2547307, longitude -179.8633107 and persisted for 20 minutes, during which 137 nm were flown.
A subsequent climb segment started 83 miles east of PASY Eareckson Air Station Shemya, rising from 44,349 ft asl to 50,508 ft asl, an increase of 6,159 ft in 7 minutes over a distance of 51 nm.
The aircraft then maintained level flight 31 miles east of PASY for 2 minutes, covering 10 nm.
Descent commenced 21 miles east of PASY, descending from 50,992 ft asl to 41,598 ft asl, a loss of 9,393 ft in 7 minutes while traveling 50 nm.
A level cruise segment followed 4 miles east of ATU Casco Cove CGS Attu, lasting 44 minutes and encompassing 355 nm.
Descent resumed at latitude 53.2879513, longitude 163.4797658, dropping from 40,992 ft asl to 21,157 ft asl, a decrease of 19,835 ft in 13 minutes across 105 nm.
The aircraft then cruised 66 miles east of UHPH Khalaktyrka Airport for 5 minutes, covering 28 nm.
A final descent began 39 miles east of UHPH, falling from 21,006 ft asl to 917 ft asl, a reduction of 20,089 ft in 12 minutes over 57 nm.
The final approach to runway 34 at UHPP Yelizovo Airport was flown from the southeast, on a heading of 339.0° at 4 nm and 791 ft agl.
Touchdown occurred on runway 34, whose length is 11,373 ft. The threshold height at 104 ft agl was noted as excessively over target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 161 kt. The aircraft contacted the runway 241 ft beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 154 kt, with a heavy touchdown rate of minus 651 fpm. Alignment at touchdown was off centreline by 55 ft. Local weather reported a temperature of 75 °F, wind 6 kt from 170°, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 6 kt tailwind.
The total landing roll measured 5,087 ft, representing 45 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 48 ft.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area, a movement that lasted 12 minutes and covered 3 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 926nm, required 152 and consumed 2 lbs of fuel.
The final approach to runway 34 at UHPP Yelizovo Airport was flown from the south-east on a heading of 339.0° at 4 nm and 791 ft agl, with ambient temperature 75 °F, wind 6 kt from 170°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 6 kt tailwind component.
At the threshold the aircraft was 104 ft agl, which was excessively over target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 161 kt.
Touchdown occurred 241 ft beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 154 kt that was excessively fast, and a heavy descent rate of minus 651 fpm. The touchdown point was significantly misaligned by 55 ft from the centreline, and the aircraft required a total landing distance of 5,087 ft, representing 45 % of the 11,373 ft runway.
During rollout the aircraft remained slightly misaligned, drifting 48 ft from the centreline before exiting the runway.
To improve future performance, focus on moderating the flare to achieve a lighter touchdown rate and on maintaining tighter centreline alignment throughout touchdown and rollout; these adjustments will help convert the 68.1 % score into a higher margin of safety and efficiency.
