What went well

Touched down at -133 fpm — a soft arrival
1.26 G at touchdown — inside band
Rollout controlled — 28 % of the runway used

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Landing and flare profile at 0 %, Threshold speed was too high at 118 kt. at 61 %, −1.81 points
Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; speed limits at 77 %, −1.04 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 54.7 ft at 50 %, −0.93 points

Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Landing on runway 35C at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in the Cessna Citation CJ4
Landing Score 79.86 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport on runway 35C. However, the landing was not without its issues, as the aircraft scored 79.9% on its landing performance. The final approach to the runway was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 0.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 1,311 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the target. The touchdown speed of 99 knots was also higher than the recommended speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied too much power during the approach. On the positive side, the touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -133 feet per minute.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots. Despite these favorable conditions, the pilot struggled to maintain alignment with the runway centerline, both during the touchdown and the rollout phases of the landing.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 33 feet from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was even more significantly off-center, by 55 feet. These deviations from the centerline suggest that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining control of the aircraft during the landing. Overall, while the Cessna CJ4 Citation was able to land safely, the landing performance was not optimal, and the pilot will need to work on improving their skills to achieve a higher score.
