MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 196 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 168 kt against a target of 196 kt, running 28 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 196 kt.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 103 kt well before the gate.
What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 119 kt against the 103 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 866 m against the 457 m target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 103 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: glideslope 4.5° against the runway's 3° and speed 73 kt FAST on the reference speed of 103 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 19 kt FAST on the reference speed of 103 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,663 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,663 m of the 3,343 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 866 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Wichita Eisenhower National Airport, the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 7 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 19L, the departure roll commenced, with the aircraft taking off in a distance of 1,190 meters, utilizing 54% of the available runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 116 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 120°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, which began overhead Wichita Eisenhower National Airport. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an initial altitude of 2,320 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 41,672 feet, an increase of 39,353 feet in just 16 minutes, covering a distance of 74 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Emporia Municipal Airport and lasted for 92 minutes, covering a distance of 745 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 5 miles north of Aylmer, Ontario, Canada, and saw the aircraft descend from 41,244 feet to 2,286 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,959 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 86 nautical miles.
Upon approaching Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 05 from the southwest, heading 46.0° at an altitude of 1,728 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed with a touchdown point 440 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 97 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed. The touchdown rate was recorded at -183 feet per minute, indicating a good touchdown rate. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 5 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 912 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 136 minutes and a fuel consumption of 1,154 kilograms.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation touched down on runway 05 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, a 3,343-meter-long runway. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 119 kt, indicating a potential for a longer landing roll. The aircraft was on a heading of 46.0°, 4 nautical miles from the runway, at an altitude of 1,728 feet above ground level.
As the CJ4 touched down 440 meters beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 97 kt was faster than ideal, resulting in a touchdown rate of -183 feet per minute, which was still within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind of 9 kt at 140°, contributed to a crosswind of 9 kt and a tailwind of 1 kt.
The CJ4's total landing distance of 1,572 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway, was within acceptable limits. The rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft. Overall, the landing performance of the Cessna CJ4 Citation scored 90.3%, reflecting a satisfactory but not exceptional execution of the landing.
