The flight in question was operated by a Cessna Citation X aircraft, registered as N750VY. The flight began its enroute climb from a location 60 miles northwest of Sinabang, in the Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam Province, Indonesia. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 36,986 feet above sea level (asl) to the same altitude, resulting in a negligible increase of 0 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, also starting from the same location 60 miles northwest of Sinabang. This phase lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its descent from the same location, decreasing its altitude from 36,986 ft asl to 33,205 ft asl, a decrease of 3,781 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting from a location 50 miles southwest of WITC Cut Nyak Dhien Airport Kuala Pesisir, in the Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam Province, Indonesia. This phase lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 219 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from a location 23 miles north of Kisaran, in North Sumatra, Indonesia. The descent was significant, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 33,230 ft asl to 4,911 ft asl, a decrease of 28,319 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 146 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting from a location 6 miles southeast of Port Dickson, in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. This phase lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting from a location 2 miles northeast of Port Dickson. The descent was steep, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 4,542 ft asl to 1,335 ft asl, a decrease of 3,206 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 32R at WMKK Kuala Lumpur International Airport, approaching from the southeast. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft landed on runway 32R, which was 4,036 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 135 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 345 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 133 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -345 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions were hot, with a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, and a light wind of 3 knots from 240 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,610 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 18.3 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 409 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 43 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 875 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Cessna Citation X, registration N750VY Black, successfully landed at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (WMKK) on runway 32R. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 326.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a good final approach, with a threshold height that met the required standards.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 135 knots, which was significantly above the target threshold speed. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and was able to maintain a safe speed during the landing. The touchdown distance of 345 meters was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's rate of descent.
The touchdown speed of 133 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot had successfully slowed the aircraft down to a safe speed upon touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -345 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the pilot may have applied a bit too much braking force. This could potentially lead to a bumpy ride for passengers, but it did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall safety of the landing.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 12.2 meters from the centerline. This could be due to a variety of factors, including wind shear or a slight miscalculation by the pilot. However, it did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall safety of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 240°. This meant that there was no significant crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more straightforward.
The total landing distance of 1,610 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 18.3 meters from the centerline, which could be a concern for future landings. This may indicate that the pilot needs to work on maintaining a more consistent alignment during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control over the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there are some areas for improvement, including the runway touchdown position and the runway rollout alignment.
