Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Add power on approach to bring the speed up to 119 kt before the stabilisation gate, not after it.
What happened: The approach was already slow at the stabilisation gate, and a slow gate like that usually carries through to a slow threshold crossing - here 108 kt against the 119 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 119 kt on approach, carrying through to 119 kt at the threshold.
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 seven 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 12.0° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 119 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,193 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 551 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Citation Longitude taxied from the parking area to the runway at LIEO Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 144 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,381 m, which represented 57 % of the runway length; local weather was 34 °C with a wind of 12 kt from 239°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 12 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile south-west of LIEO, with the aircraft ascending from 935 ft asl to 39,943 ft asl, an increase of 39,007 ft achieved in 33 minutes while covering 83 nm.
The first cruise segment began 12 miles west of Cabras and continued for 667 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 1,772 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 36 miles north of Banamba, with a reduction from 40,008 ft asl to 4,004 ft asl, a loss of 36,004 ft over 18 minutes and a distance of 125 nm.
A short cruise phase followed, beginning 15 miles south-west of GABS Modibo Keita International Airport, lasting 3 minutes and covering 10 nm.
The next descent began 8 miles south-west of GABS, dropping from 3,371 ft asl to 2,123 ft asl, a decrease of 1,248 ft in 2 minutes while traveling 3 nm.
A further cruise segment started 5 miles south-west of GABS, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nm.
For the final approach to runway 06 at GABS, the aircraft aligned from the south-west on a heading of 56.0°, intercepting the glide path at 1 nm and 555 ft agl.
Landing on runway 06 was executed with a threshold height of 59 ft agl, a threshold speed of 108 kt, and a touchdown point 122 m beyond the touchdown zone; touchdown speed was 95 kt, touchdown rate was minus 120 fpm, and the touchdown position was offset 5.8 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 31 °C, wind 9 kt from 310°, a 9 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt tail-wind; total landing distance measured 899 m, representing 28 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 2,003 nm, took 733, and consumed 3,704 kg of fuel.
The Cessna Citation Longitude executed a final approach to runway 06 at GABS Modibo Keita International Airport from the south-west on a heading of 56.0° at 1 NM and 555 ft AGL, with a temperature of 31 °C, wind 9 kt from 310°, a 9 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt tailwind component. The aircraft was scored 97.0 % for the overall landing.
At threshold the height was slightly above target while the threshold speed was good at 108 kt. The flare was performed in accordance with the approach parameters.
Touchdown occurred 122 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a good speed of 95 kt and a smooth rate of -120 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 5.8 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance measured 899 m, representing 28 % of the 3 193 m runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
Maintain the target threshold height by fine-tuning the glide path and adjust lateral positioning to keep the aircraft within a few metres of the centreline, ensuring consistent alignment through the flare and touchdown phases.
