Next time

Departure

Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.

What happened: Bank increased to 1.7° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 6.7° into the next climb segment.

Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level

See Departure Climb 2Departure Climb 3

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 279 fpm.

Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.

See Arrival Landing

A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

Flight narrative

The flight in question was operated by a Cessna Citation X, registered as N750VY. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.

Departing from runway 29 at YPDN Darwin International Airport, also known as RAAF Darwin, the aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 2,271 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 143 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 5 knots at 209 degrees, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,021 feet above sea level to 41,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 39,989 feet in just 16 minutes, covering a distance of 157 nautical miles. The climb took place over the Coconut Grove area in the Northern Territory, Australia.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 16 miles southwest of YFSR Fisher in the Northern Territory, Australia. This phase lasted for 53 minutes and covered a distance of 1,591 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent from 40,846 feet above sea level to 2,990 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,856 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 119 nautical miles. The descent took place over the Bigga area in the State of New South Wales, Australia.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles east of Otford in the State of New South Wales, Australia. This phase lasted for just 3 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles.

The final descent phase began 7 miles southeast of Bundeena in the State of New South Wales, Australia, and took the aircraft from 2,991 feet above sea level to 1,299 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,692 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 34L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, approaching from the south at a heading of 348.0 degrees, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level.

However, the aircraft was required to perform a go-around at an altitude of 51 feet above ground level due to an unknown reason.

The aircraft then landed safely on runway 34L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, which had a length of 3,885 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 123 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 412 meters, and the touchdown speed was 115 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -226 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 11 knots at 30 degrees, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,472 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The total flight distance was 1,980 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 135 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,172 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Score 97.17 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna Citation X, registration N750VY Black, successfully landed at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY) on runway 34L. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 348.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the final approach, achieving a threshold height and speed that met the required standards.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 412 meters, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 115 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and managed the aircraft's descent effectively. However, the touchdown rate of -226 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the descent more smoothly.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.4 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were warm, with a temperature of 35°C and a moderate wind of 11 knots from 30°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 8 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.

The total landing distance of 1,472 meters was 38% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.8 meters, which may have been due to a minor issue with the pilot's control or a slight deviation in the aircraft's trajectory.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the final approach and touchdown. However, there were some minor issues with alignment and touchdown rate that could be addressed in future training or operations.
