Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 479 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 5.0° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 4.6° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,088 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 464 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at San Diego International Airport (KSAN) took 12 minutes and covered a distance of approximately 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Citation X, then began its departure roll on runway 27, utilizing 17% of the available runway length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 136 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 19°C, with a gentle tailwind of 4 knots and a crosswind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from KSAN, it began its enroute climb 2 miles west of the airport, ascending from 1,164 feet above sea level to 44,730 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 147 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 10 miles east of Meling Ranch Airstrip (MMEM) and lasted for 58 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 505 nautical miles. The descent phase began 47 miles northeast of Punta Arena Airstrip (MMLZ), with the aircraft descending from 45,292 feet to 1,983 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 137 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at Cabo San Lucas International Airport (MMSL) was initiated from the southeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 305.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,318 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 117 knots and a touchdown rate of -80 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,138 meters, accounting for 54% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 798 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 111 minutes and a fuel consumption of 1,488 kilograms.
The Cessna Citation X, registered as M-EGWD, successfully completed a landing on runway 29 at MMSL Cabo San Lucas International Airport. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, aligning with the heading of 305.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,318 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 127 knots, well within the acceptable range.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it demonstrated good touchdown characteristics, with a speed of 117 knots and a touchdown distance of 464 meters. The touchdown rate was particularly impressive, with an excellent rate of -80 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.6 meters. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27°C, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The aircraft's rollout phase was also satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 1,138 meters, accounting for 54% of the runway length. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.7 meters, the overall performance of the aircraft was impressive. The landing was scored at 97.0%, reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot.
