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 5.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep increasing back pressure smoothly after the sink arrests at 8.1 ft, holding that attitude firmly all the way to touchdown.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 8.1 ft, but 107 fpm of sink came back before touchdown, and sink returning like this usually carries through into a bounce at touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: steady, continuously decreasing sink held through the flare and into touchdown.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,495 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 668 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 32 at LYTV Tivat Airport, where the aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, took off with a takeoff distance of 327 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 114 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 263 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Mrcevac, a location in Tivat, Montenegro. The climb from 1,030 feet above sea level to 1,582 feet above sea level was achieved in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude increase of 552 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles, starting 1 mile west of LYTV Tivat Airport.
The enroute descent began 1 mile west of Budva, another location in Montenegro. The descent from 2,184 feet above sea level to 372 feet above sea level was accomplished in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles and a decrease in altitude of 1,812 feet. The final approach to runway 32 at LYTV Tivat Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 318.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 349 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 32 was successful, with the touchdown point being 237 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 89 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -50 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 265 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,346 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 19 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used 67 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at LYTV Tivat Airport, achieving a score of 93.5%. The final approach to runway 32 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 318.0° at 1 nautical mile and 349 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 108 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 237 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. However, the touchdown speed of 89 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -50 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the off-center touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 265°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,346 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline, which may indicate some issues with the aircraft's directional control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory. However, there are some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to the runway touchdown position and the runway rollout alignment.
