Flight Score
Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 2.9°.
What happened: The wings held 2.9° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 1.1° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,550 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 633 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 08 at Exeter International Airport (EGTE). The takeoff distance was 730 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 129 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 23 knots from a direction of 249 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 23 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Aylesbeare in Devon, England. The climb took 8 minutes and covered 23 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,158 feet above sea level to 17,127 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,970 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 14 miles south of Lyme Regis in Dorset, England. This phase lasted 9 minutes and covered 46 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 7 miles northwest of Alderney Airport (EGJA) in Guernsey. The descent took 9 minutes and covered 36 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 16,357 feet above sea level to 2,345 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,013 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 9 miles west of Jersey Airport (EGJJ) in Jersey. This phase lasted 7 minutes and covered 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08 at EGJJ was made from the west, with a heading of 82.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,348 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 08 at EGJJ was successful, with a touchdown point 215 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 96 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was good at -152 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 32 knots from a direction of 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 32 knots. The total landing distance was 1,138 meters, which accounted for 73% of the runway.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 116 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 38 minutes. The aircraft used 300 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at EGJJ Jersey Airport, achieving a score of 95.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 82.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,348 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 08, which has a length of 1,550 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 106 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's weight or other factors. The touchdown point was located 215 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance but could be improved upon.
The touchdown speed of 96 knots was a little fast, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's decision to touch down at a slightly higher speed. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -152 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 32 knots from 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 32 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's performance during the landing. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft and achieved a good landing.
The total landing distance of 1,138 meters was 73% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in managing the aircraft under challenging weather conditions.
