MY FS FLIGHTS
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 7.6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 169 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 150 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,823 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,981 ft 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 28 at RJOA Hiroshima Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,030 feet, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 126 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 40°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 351°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of RJOA Hiroshima Airport. The climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 87 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 2,132 feet above sea level to 43,482 feet above sea level, an increase of 41,350 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 16 miles north of Tatsunocho-tominaga in Hyogo, Japan. This phase lasted for 23 minutes and covered a distance of 194 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 8 miles southeast of RJNY JASDF Shizuhama Air Base Yaizu in Shizuoka, Japan. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 101 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 43,872 feet above sea level to 4,376 feet above sea level, a decrease of 39,496 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 13 miles southeast of Katsuura in Chiba-ken, Japan. This phase lasted for 12 minutes and covered a distance of 34 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles south of Kisarazu in Chiba-ken, Japan. The descent took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 4,373 feet above sea level to 1,303 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,070 feet.
The final approach to runway 34L at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 330.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,259 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 34L, which had a length of 9,823 feet. The threshold height at 67 feet above ground level was above the target, while the threshold speed was well above the target at 101 knots.
The touchdown point was 553 feet beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 88 knots and the touchdown rate of -151 feet per minute were both good. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 52°F and a wind speed of 15 knots at 329°. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the headwind component was 15 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,653 feet, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 436 nautical miles, and the flight took 90 minutes to complete, using 0 pounds of fuel.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.7%. The final approach to runway 34L was initiated from the southeast, heading 330.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 553 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. However, the touchdown speed of 88 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -151 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 21 feet from the centerline, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 52°F and a wind speed of 15 knots from 329°. This resulted in a headwind of 15 knots, which was effectively utilized by the aircraft to reduce the landing distance. The crosswind component was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 2,653 feet was 27% of the available runway length of 9,823 feet. This indicates that the aircraft was able to maintain a relatively high speed during the landing roll, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing.
Overall, while there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance, the Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft was able to execute a safe and successful landing at RJTT Tokyo Haneda International Airport.
