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 11,041 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,361 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 32 at KBUF Buffalo Niagara International Airport, where the Cessna CJ4 Citation took off with a takeoff distance of 625 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 139 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -2 degrees Celsius.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Williamsville, New York, and ascended from 1,746 feet above sea level to 4,256 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,510 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 1 mile northwest of Tonawanda, New York, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then started its descent 1 mile northeast of Niagara Falls, New York, and descended from 4,383 feet above sea level to 3,678 feet above sea level, a decrease of 704 feet in 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles southwest of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 28 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it started its descent overhead Moss Park, Ontario, Canada, and descended from 3,421 feet above sea level to 2,778 feet above sea level, a decrease of 643 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began again 1 mile north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then started its descent 7 miles southeast of New Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and descended from 3,063 feet above sea level to 2,561 feet above sea level, a decrease of 502 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles southeast of New Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33R at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 317.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,262 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 33R, which had a length of 3,365 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 104 knots.
The touchdown point was 302 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 96 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -75 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 49 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,272 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 21.3 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft took 10 minutes to taxi to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 82 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 37 minutes. The aircraft used 204 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, with a score of 88.6%. The final approach to runway 33R was initiated from the southeast, heading 317.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed that was well above the target at 104 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 96 knots was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown point was located 302 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting of the target.
The aircraft's touchdown rate was excellent, at -75 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.6 meters, which may have contributed to the over-shooting of the touchdown zone.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -6°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 49°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was negligible at 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,272 meters, which accounted for 38% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned from the centerline by 21.3 meters, which may indicate a slight deviation from the desired path during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, including the touchdown speed and the alignment of the runway touchdown position and rollout.
