Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,812 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,587 ft 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 19R at Kansas City International Airport (KMCI). The takeoff distance was 35 meters, which is 1% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 30 knots from a direction of 170°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 28 knots. The aircraft climbed to a height of 22,600 feet above sea level (asl) over a distance of 70 nautical miles in 13 minutes, starting from 2 miles east of Noah's Ark Airport (06MO) in Waldron, Missouri.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which began 4 miles northwest of Dunn Field Beagle (59KS) in Kansas. This cruise phase lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 100 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent from 22,793 feet asl to 9,866 feet asl over a distance of 66 nautical miles in 12 minutes, starting from 4 miles northwest of Barnsdall, Oklahoma.
The descent was followed by another level cruise, which began 3 miles east of GK Edwards Airport (OL56) in Guthrie, Oklahoma. This cruise phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its final descent from 9,495 feet asl to 1,790 feet asl over a distance of 15 nautical miles in 7 minutes, starting from 1 mile southeast of Edmond Airport (0OK0) in Edmond, Oklahoma.
The final approach to runway 17L at Will Rogers World Airport (KOKC) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 180° at an altitude of 503 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 17L, which has a length of 2,991 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 140 knots.
The touchdown point was 67 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was excessively fast at 135 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -220 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 28 knots from a direction of 170°, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 28 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,235 meters, which is 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 36.7 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 276 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 65 minutes. The aircraft used 627 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at KOKC Will Rogers World Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft scored 77.4% on its landing, indicating that there were some areas for improvement. The final approach to runway 17L was initiated from the north, heading 180.0° at 4 nautical miles and 503 feet above ground level.
The landing itself was on the runway 17L, which has a length of 2,991 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 140 knots. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. The touchdown point was 67 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 135 knots was also excessively fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further during the flare. The touchdown rate of -220 feet per minute was fair, suggesting that the pilot was able to control the descent of the aircraft effectively. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a headwind of 28 knots. The crosswind was relatively light at 5 knots, which made the landing conditions easier. However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 36.7 meters from the centerline, which suggests that the pilot may have had difficulty controlling the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement. The pilot may have been able to reduce the touchdown speed and improve the runway touchdown position by adjusting the flare and descent rates. Additionally, the pilot may have been able to improve the runway rollout alignment by making adjustments to the aircraft's control inputs during the rollout phase.
