Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,127 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 592 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Cessna Citation X aircraft, registered as N13SY. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 5 minutes.
As the aircraft departed from runway 27, it took off with a takeoff distance of 1,361 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 152 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 319 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots.
The enroute climb phase of the flight began overhead Biarritz, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,104 feet above sea level to 42,697 feet above sea level, an increase of 41,593 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 150 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started overhead Thors, lasting 85 minutes and covering 743 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb phase, this time from 41 miles south of Spangereid, Norway, where it climbed from 42,684 feet above sea level to 44,602 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,919 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started 14 miles south of Mandal, Norway, and lasted 235 minutes, covering 1,129 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent phase from 95 miles southwest of ENSA Svea Airport, Svea, Norway, descending from 44,820 feet above sea level to 5,130 feet above sea level, a decrease of 39,690 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started 12 miles north of ENSA Svea Airport, Svea, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at ENSB Svalbard Airport, Longyear, was made from the east, heading 291.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,093 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 28, which had a length of 2,127 meters. The threshold speed was 132 knots, and the touchdown point was 170 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 117 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -40 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,132 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 4 minutes. The total flight distance was 2,176 nautical miles, taking a total of 287 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,648 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Citation X, registered as N13SY, successfully landed at ENSB Svalbard Airport, Longyear, with a score of 98.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 291.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,093 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, adhering to the standard procedures for landing on runway 28, which has a length of 2,127 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 132 knots was maintained. The touchdown point was located 170 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 117 knots. The rate of descent at touchdown was optimal at -40 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 3.4 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,132 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's speed and descent rate to achieve a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory, with the aircraft maintaining a good alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 98.4%.
