MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 197 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
See Arrival Landing
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,463 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,409 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 29 at PADQ Kodiak Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,558 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 129 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 12 knots at 300°.
As the aircraft climbed out of PADQ Kodiak Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northwest of the airport. The climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 68 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,088 feet above sea level to 36,291 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,203 feet. The enroute level cruise started 22 miles south of AK07 Dog Fish Bay Airport Nanwalek and lasted 7 minutes, covering 48 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead PAHO Homer Airport Homer. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 91 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 36,300 feet above sea level to 12,854 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,445 feet. The enroute level cruise started 3 miles east of PABG Beluga Airport Beluga and lasted 2 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute descent, which started 12 miles northeast of PABG Beluga Airport Beluga. The descent took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 18 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 12,798 feet above sea level to 2,930 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,868 feet. The enroute level cruise started overhead AK36 Point Mac Airport Point Mackenzie and lasted 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead AK14 Turinsky Airstrip Point Mackenzie. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 2,900 feet above sea level to 1,523 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,377 feet.
The final approach to runway 15 at PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport was made from the north, heading 166.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,360 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 15, which had a length of 10,463 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 102 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,398 feet, but the touchdown speed at 93 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -252 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 6 knots at 320°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the tailwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 2,668 feet, which accounted for 25% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 252 nautical miles, and the flight took 57 minutes. The aircraft used 1,184 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, achieving a score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 166.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,360 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 15, which has a length of 10,463 feet.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 102 kt, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's performance characteristics. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 1,398 feet, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and land smoothly.
The touchdown speed of 93 kt was a little fast, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -252 fpm. However, this was still considered fair, and the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 6 kt from 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 kt and a tailwind of 5 kt, which may have affected the aircraft's performance during the landing. However, the pilot was able to compensate for these conditions and execute a safe landing.
The total landing distance was 2,668 feet, which is 25% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to land smoothly and maintain control throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway after touchdown and was able to come to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft was able to land safely at PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.
