Improve the takeoff
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,731 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,731 m of the 3,050 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 489 m touchdown sits inside 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 35R at VVDN Da Nang International Airport. The takeoff distance was 516 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 120 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 225°. The crosswind and headwind were both 0 knots. The enroute climb started overhead VVDN Da Nang International Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,040 feet above sea level to 7,409 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,370 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then began 3 miles northwest of Da Nang and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 8 miles northeast of Da Nang, where it climbed from 7,617 feet above sea level to 36,514 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,897 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 90 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 22 miles south of Quang Ngai and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 1 mile north of VVPC Phu Cat Airport Quy Nhon, where it descended from 36,117 feet above sea level to 21,680 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,437 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started once more 14 miles southwest of VVTH Dong Tac Airport Tuy Hoa and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 23 miles southwest of VVTH Dong Tac Airport Tuy Hoa, where it descended from 20,893 feet above sea level to 4,144 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,748 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 49 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 3 miles southwest of Cam Ranh and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 6 miles south of Cam Ranh, where it descended from 4,162 feet above sea level to 1,505 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,657 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02L at VVCR Cam Ranh International Airport / Cam Ranh Air Base was made from the south, heading 19.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,466 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 02L was successful, with a touchdown point 56 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 86 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -131 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 14 knots at 340°. The crosswind was 9 knots, and the headwind was 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,633 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 15.1 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at VVCR Cam Ranh International Airport / Cam Ranh Air Base, achieving a score of 90.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 19.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,466 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, touching down on runway 02L with a speed of 86 kn, which was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown point was 56 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. However, the touchdown speed and rate were both satisfactory, with a smooth touchdown rate of -131 feet per minute (fpm). The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 96 kn, but this did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26°C, with a wind speed of 14 kn from a direction of 340°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 kn and a headwind of 11 kn, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance was 1,633 meters, representing 54% of the available runway length.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 15.1 meters from the centerline. This deviation was relatively minor and did not compromise the overall safety of the landing. Overall, the Cessna CJ4 Citation demonstrated a high level of proficiency in executing a safe and controlled landing at VVCR Cam Ranh International Airport / Cam Ranh Air Base.
