Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 169 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 26 kt fast at 195 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 169 kt in the climb
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 six 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: speed 59.6 kt FAST on the reference speed of 119 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 26.3 kt FAST on the reference speed of 119 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 13,408 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 725 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 750 Citation X taxied from the parking area to runway 13 at KLNC Lancaster Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Takeoff was made on runway 13 with a distance of 3,137 ft, which was 48 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 130 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 64 °F, wind 1 kt from 269°, crosswind 1 kt and tailwind 1 kt.
The initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 26 seconds, averaging 1,732 fpm and reaching 204 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 1,410 ft asl to 7,306 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering 10 nm, beginning 1 mile south-east of KLNC.
Level flight was maintained at 7,500 ft asl for 8 minutes, covering 38 nm, beginning 2 miles north-east of Garrett.
Descent from 7,502 ft asl to 1,863 ft asl was completed in 5 minutes, covering 21 nm, beginning 2 miles south-west of Midlothian.
Final approach to runway 35C at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport descended from 1,320 ft agl to 33 ft agl in 91 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, and wings level; the speed check was not met. Configuration was landing gear down at 1,387 ft agl at 217 kt, and final flap position 4 was selected at 531 ft agl at 148 kt.
Landing on runway 35C, which is 13,408 ft long, occurred with a threshold speed slightly below target at 113 kt. The flare was described as good, with little round-out. Touchdown distance was 724 ft and touchdown speed was 107 kt, both noted as good. Touchdown rate was fair at minus 278 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 31 ft from the centreline. Local weather at landing was temperature 59 °F, wind 1 kt from 270°, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 0 kt. No bounce occurred.
Total landing distance was 2,234 ft, representing 17 % of the runway. Runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 32 ft from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
The flight covered a total of 76 nm in 23 minutes and used 0 lb of fuel.
