Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 169 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 41 kt fast at 210 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 169 kt in the climb
Arrival
Apply small rudder corrections at touchdown, aiming at a point at the far end of the runway, to stay on the centreline.
What happened: Touchdown drifted 20 ft off the centreline, and landings like this usually carry that drift into the rollout, where the alignment error grew to 40 ft.
Watch for: Runway centreline: aircraft tracking directly over it through touchdown and rollout.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

4 landings
The flight is kept as it was recorded: it ends when the engine is shut down, so a landing with the rotors turning is a stop along the way, not a new flight.
| # | Where | Into flight | Touchdown | Ground speed | Sideways | On the ground |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | KSGU · St George Regional Airport | 22:36 | 42 ft/min | 0.0 kt | 0.0 kt | 0:16 |
| 2 | KSGU · St George Regional Airport | 29:00 | 37 ft/min | 3.9 kt | 2.8 kt | 0:07 |

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 5.5° off, against a 1° limit and wings 10° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,991 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,089 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 750 Citation X taxied from the parking area to runway 01 at KSGU St George Regional Airport, a movement that lasted 10 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 01, the aircraft accelerated to a takeoff distance of 2,962 ft, representing 32 % of the runway, and rotated at 130 kt. Local weather at the time was Temperature 61 °F, Wind 1 kt at 269 °, Crosswind 1 kt and Headwind 0 kt.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile north east of KSGU, with the aircraft ascending from 3,675 ft asl to 25,008 ft asl, a gain of 21,333 ft achieved in 9 minutes while covering 55 nm.
Level cruise began about 10 miles south east of Fredonia, Arizona, and persisted for 28 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 240 nm.
Descent was initiated roughly 21 miles north east of Milan, New Mexico, with the aircraft descending from 25,007 ft asl to 6,020 ft asl, a loss of 18,987 ft in 11 minutes over a distance of 61 nm.
The final approach to runway 21 at KABQ Albuquerque International Sunport involved a descent from 1,066 ft agl to 96 ft agl in 84 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 21 was executed on a runway 9,991 ft long; the threshold height at 62 ft agl was above target while the threshold speed was recorded at 111 kt. Touchdown occurred 697 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 101 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 288 fpm and a lateral deviation of 20 ft from the centreline. Local weather reported Temperature 59 °F, Wind 1 kt at 270 °, Crosswind 1 kt and Headwind 1 kt.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 3,879 ft, equal to 39 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment was slightly off centreline by 40 ft during the rollout.
Taxiing back to the parking area from the runway required 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 364 nm, lasted 56 minutes, and consumed 3,246 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 entered the final approach to runway 18C at KMEM Memphis International Airport from the north on a heading of 179.0° at 4 nm and 1,266 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the local weather was 28 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 210°, including a 2 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 119 kt. The aircraft continued the flare in a controlled manner and remained aligned with the runway centreline.
Touchdown occurred 117 m down the runway at a speed of 117 kt, noted as a little fast, with a firm touchdown rate of -331 fpm and perfect runway alignment.
The total landing distance was 607 m, representing 18 % of the 3,387 m runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
With a final score of 98.0 % the landing was excellent; reducing the touchdown speed slightly and refining flare timing will help to soften the firm touchdown rate and further optimise performance.
