Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 136 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 158 kt, 22 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 136 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 31 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 31 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 31 ft to touchdown.
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.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: six checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,330 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,330 m of the 4,018 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 944 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Citation X, registered as N750VY Black, departed from runway 32R at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (WMKK). The aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 2,219 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 240 degrees.
After taking off, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern, and the distance covered in the first 60 seconds was less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then made a left-hand pattern crosswind turn, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in 14 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was made at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14R was made from the northwest, with a heading of 145 degrees at an altitude of 602 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 14R, which has a length of 4,018 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 144 knots.
The touchdown point was 527 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 125 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -85 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 240 degrees.
The total landing distance was 2,247 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 4 minutes. The aircraft used 38 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Citation X, registration N750VY Black, successfully landed at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (WMKK) on runway 14R. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 145.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 602 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 30°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots from 240°.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The touchdown point was located 527 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance considering the runway's length of 4,018 meters. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -85 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline, which may be attributed to a minor deviation during the landing roll. Despite this, the total landing distance of 2,247 meters, which accounts for 56% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, taking into account the local weather conditions and the aircraft's performance characteristics. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and stable approach, touchdown, and rollout phases of the landing.
