Improve the rollout
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,203 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 360 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by the Citation CJ3+ aircraft, registered as N60US. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Catania-Fontanarossa Airport, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
Departure roll from runway 26 at LICC Catania-Fontanarossa Airport was successful, with a takeoff distance of 444 meters, which accounted for 20% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 114 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 250 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,063 feet above sea level to 45,443 feet above sea level, an increase of 44,380 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started approximately 1 mile north-east of Agrigento, Sicilia, Italy, and lasted for 31 minutes, covering a distance of 683 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 45,247 feet above sea level to 29,101 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,146 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started approximately 1 mile east of Armuna de Almanzora, Andalusia, Spain, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 59 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its descent from 29,094 feet above sea level to 7,238 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,856 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 53 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started approximately 1 mile north-east of Fuente de Piedra, Andalusia, Spain, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final enroute descent started approximately 5 miles east of Teba, Andalusia, Spain, and ended with the aircraft descending from 6,894 feet above sea level to 1,424 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,470 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 13 at Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport, flying from the north-west at a heading of 131.0 degrees, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and 1,371 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 13 at LEMG Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport was successful, with a runway length of 3,203 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 105 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 361 meters, and the touchdown speed was 98 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -216 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 13.6 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 139 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,241 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 15.0 meters.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, which took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total
The Citation CJ3+ aircraft, registered as N60US, successfully landed at Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (LEMG) with a score of 90.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 131.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,371 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot executed a good final approach, achieving a threshold speed of 105 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 361 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 98 knots was slightly below the expected value, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -216 feet per minute (fpm).
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 13.6 meters off-centerline, indicating a slight misalignment with the runway centerline. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 139°, resulting in a headwind of 8 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 1,241 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 15.0 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's handling characteristics were sufficient to ensure a safe and controlled landing, despite the challenging weather conditions.
