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 19 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 0.4 ft, and this flight then touched down at 323 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
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 43.0 kt FAST on the reference speed of 114 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 26.1 kt FAST on the reference speed of 114 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 6,514 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 728 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 08 at KABQ Albuquerque International Sunport in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 08 with a take-off distance of 5,969 ft (47 % of the runway). Rotation occurred at 147 kt. Local weather was 65 °F with wind 1 kt from 269°, a crosswind of 0 kt and a tailwind component of 1 kt.
The initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 39 seconds, averaging 1,475 fpm and reaching 180 kt at the top of the climb.
Climb continued from 6,362 ft asl to 29,960 ft asl in 9 minutes, covering 60 nm and beginning 2 nm east of KABQ.
Level flight was maintained at 30,000 ft asl for 43 minutes, covering 383 nm, beginning 13 nm north-west of Vaughn.
Descent began from 29,727 ft asl to 1,776 ft asl in 16 minutes, covering 92 nm, starting 4 nm south of 86TE Matthews Ranch Airport.
Final approach to runway 31 at KLNC Lancaster Airport descended from 1,308 ft agl to 20 ft agl in 99 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 1,431 ft agl with 178 kt, and final flap position 4 was selected at 477 ft agl with 139 kt.
Landing on runway 31 (runway length 6,514 ft) had a good threshold height. Threshold speed was slightly below target at 106 kt. The flare was described as very good, starting early. Touchdown occurred at 99 kt, 728 ft down the runway, with a firm rate of -324 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 28 ft from the centreline; no bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 2,089 ft (32 % of the runway) and the rollout remained slightly misaligned by 28 ft from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied to parking from the runway in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 542 nm in 77 minutes and used 6,422 lb of fuel.
