Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,129 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 396 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LGHI Chios Island National Airport. This process took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 19, with a takeoff distance of 458 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 117 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 16°C and winds of 4 knots at 199°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Karfas, in the North Aegean region of Greece, where the aircraft climbed from 1,033 feet above sea level to 28,203 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,170 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 16 miles south of Pyrgion, also in the North Aegean region, where the aircraft descended from 28,200 feet above sea level to 3,478 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,721 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 7 miles south-east of Ios, in the South Aegean region, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 6 miles north of Oia, in the South Aegean region, where the aircraft descended from 3,500 feet above sea level to 974 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,526 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles north-east of Fira, in the South Aegean region, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33 at LGSR Santorini Airport began from the south, heading 346.0° at 1 nautical mile and 291 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 33 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 395 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 93 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was perfect at -4 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 19°C and winds of 9 knots at 352°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,116 meters, which was 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.3 meters from the centreline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 126 nautical miles, taking approximately 40 minutes, and the aircraft used 297 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at LGSR Santorini Airport, achieving a score of 93.8%. The final approach to runway 33 was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 346.0° at 1 nautical mile and 291 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 2,129 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 105 knots, indicating that the pilot may have been a bit aggressive during the approach. Despite this, the touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 395 meters.
The touchdown speed of 93 knots was a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -4 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 352°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance was 1,116 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed a good approach and touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more consistent approach speed and ensuring a more accurate rollout alignment.
