Flight Score
Departure
Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.
What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.3 g, a high value for that phase.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 16 ft, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 24 ft.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit 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.

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: speed 45.0 kt FAST on the reference speed of 113 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 23.3 kt FAST on the reference speed of 113 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,477 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 975 ft touchdown sits inside 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 36R at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 36R with a takeoff distance of 3,261 ft (37 % of runway). Rotation occurred at 137 kt. Local weather was temperature 61 °F, wind 1 kt from 270°, crosswind 1 kt, headwind 0 kt.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 25 seconds, averaging 2,114 fpm and reaching 206 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 1,713 ft asl to 25,008 ft asl in 10 minutes, covering 60 nm, beginning about 1 mile north-east of KCLT.
Level cruise was maintained at 25,000 ft asl for 47 minutes, covering 385 nm, beginning approximately 7 miles south of Blowing Rock.
Descent began from 25,005 ft asl to 1,956 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 94 nm, starting about 1 mile south of II08 Rheude Airport Earl Park.
Final approach to runway 27 at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport descended from 1,299 ft agl to 38 ft agl in 100 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, and wings level; the speed check was not met. Configuration on final was flap position 4 at 407 ft agl, speed 135 kt.
Landing on runway 27 was completed with a good threshold height. Threshold speed was 110 kt. The flare was described as a perfect landing flare. Touchdown occurred at 975 ft down the runway, speed 101 kt, rate -194 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 17 ft from the centreline. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 2,429 ft (38 % of runway) and rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
The flight covered a total distance of 545 nm, lasted 79 minutes, and used 0 lb of fuel.
