Flight Score
Improve the touchdown
Not the biggest loss in points — the one thing on this flight a check pilot would raise first, and the guide passage for it.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 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 10,408 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 717 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.74 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 750 Citation X taxied from the parking area to runway 10 at RJOA Hiroshima Airport; the taxi-out required 9 minutes and covered 6 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 10, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 2,510 ft, representing 26 % of the runway, and lifted off at 135 kt. Local weather conditions were temperature 87 °F, wind 13 kt at 110 °, crosswind 4 kt and headwind 12 kt.
Climb commenced overhead RJOA Hiroshima Airport, ascending from 1,647 ft asl to 44,004 ft asl - an increase of 42,357 ft - in 18 minutes while covering 121 nm.
Level cruise began 2 miles north of Miyata in Fukuoka Prefecture and lasted 11 minutes, during which 84 nm were flown.
Descent started 24 miles north of RJDO Ojika Airport, descending from 43,998 ft asl to 2,014 ft asl - a decrease of 41,984 ft - in 24 minutes and covering 155 nm.
Final approach to runway 07 at RKPC Jeju International Airport was executed from the southwest on a heading of 58.0 ° at 2 nm and 1,882 ft agl.
The aircraft landed on runway 07, whose length is 10,408 ft; threshold speed was 122 kt. Touchdown occurred 716 ft down the runway at 119 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 719 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Total landing distance measured 1,796 ft, equal to 17 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect. At the time, local weather was temperature 86 °F, wind 23 kt at 69 °, crosswind 5 kt and headwind 22 kt.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 369 nm, took 63, and used 1,867 lbs of fuel.
The final approach to runway 07 at RKPC Jeju International Airport was flown from the south-west on a heading of 58.0° at 2 nm and 1,882 ft agl; at the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable because the gear was not down, the sink rate was too high and the aircraft was off the glideslope.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and the threshold speed was good at 122 kt, indicating the aircraft was correctly positioned for flare.
Touchdown occurred 716 ft down the runway, with a touchdown speed of 119 kt that was fast and a very heavy touchdown rate of minus 719 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was perfect, the total landing distance was 1,796 ft (17 % of the 10,408 ft runway), and the local weather was 86 °F with wind 23 kt from 69°, including a 5 kt crosswind and a 22 kt headwind.
During rollout the aircraft remained perfectly aligned with the runway centreline.
To improve the score, ensure the landing gear is lowered and the sink rate is reduced before reaching the 1,000 ft gate, and refine flare technique to achieve a lighter touchdown rate while maintaining the target speed.
