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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,993 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 496 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Citation CJ3+ aircraft, registered as N60US. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft prepared for departure, it rolled down runway 19 at UTSB Bukhara International Airport. The takeoff distance was 290 meters, which accounted for only 10% of the runway's total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 114 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 174°.
The wind conditions resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 9 knots, which presented a challenge for the pilots. However, they successfully navigated the aircraft through the takeoff phase and began their enroute climb. The climb started overhead UTSB Bukhara International Airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,826 feet above sea level to 10,161 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,335 feet in just 2 minutes. The climb covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 30 nautical miles. The cruise phase began 3 miles northeast of UT1P Kogon South Airport. After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 7 miles northwest of G'ijduvon Shahri. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 9,985 feet above sea level to 2,211 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,774 feet in 8 minutes. The descent covered a distance of 22 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 19 at UTSB Bukhara International Airport. The approach was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 190.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,444 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 19, which had a length of 2,993 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 106 knots. The touchdown point was 64 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 95 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -146 feet per minute.
However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 10.9 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as during takeoff, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 174°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,184 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway's total length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 14.3 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the landing was considered successful.
The total flight distance was 66 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 27 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 208 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Citation CJ3+ aircraft, registered as N60US, successfully landed at UTSB Bukhara International Airport, achieving a score of 93.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 190.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,444 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot executed a smooth final approach, touching down on runway 19 with a speed of 106 kt, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown point was 64 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown speed of 95 kt was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -146 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting a controlled descent.
The landing was conducted in a moderate wind environment, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 9 kt from 174°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, while the headwind component was 9 kt. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,184 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.3 meters from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases. While there were some minor deviations from the desired path, the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills ensured a safe and controlled landing.
