Improve the taxi
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 2,103 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 588 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Citation CJ3+ with the registration N60US, then departed from runway 19 at LEMH Menorca Airport. The takeoff distance was 620 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 126 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 190 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 9 knots, with no crosswind. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead LEMH Menorca Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,311 feet above sea level to 40,657 feet above sea level, an increase of 39,345 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 58 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 54 miles northeast of Ferreries, Spain. This phase lasted for 40 minutes and covered a distance of 247 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 2 miles east of Stellanello, Italy, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 40,559 feet above sea level to 2,658 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,901 feet, in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 41 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at LIMZ Cuneo International Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 212.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,409 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 163 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 97 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -6 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,257 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 353 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 79 minutes. The aircraft used 537 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Citation CJ3+ aircraft, registered as N60US, successfully landed at LIMZ Cuneo International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, heading 212.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,409 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot executed a precise final approach, touching down on runway 21, which has a length of 2,103 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 111 knots, indicating a well-controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 163 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 97 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -6 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating a smooth and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 60°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 7 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,257 meters was 60% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control throughout the landing, and the aircraft was able to stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the Citation CJ3+ aircraft, N60US, at LIMZ Cuneo International Airport was a successful and well-executed operation, with a high score of 98.5%. The pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and control throughout the landing, and the aircraft was able to stop safely and quickly.
