MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 196 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 168 kt against a target of 196 kt, running 28 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 196 kt.
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 85 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 85 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 600 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 5.5° off, against a 1° limit and wings 38° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,796 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,796 m of the 3,002 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 600 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Citation CJ4 taxied from the parking area to runway 29 at LCPH Paphos International Airport in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 29, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,318 m, representing 49 % of the runway, and lifted off at 118 kt; ambient temperature was 28 °C with a wind of 14 kt from 295°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 14 kt headwind.
The climb commenced overhead LCPH, climbing from 986 ft asl to 33,993 ft asl, an increase of 33,006 ft achieved in 14 minutes while covering 79 nm.
Level cruise began 66 miles west of Inia and lasted 7 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 47 nm.
Descent started 37 miles south-east of Demre, descending from 34,009 ft asl to 1,207 ft asl, a loss of 32,802 ft in 25 minutes and covering 107 nm.
The final approach to runway 01 at LTBS Dalaman International Airport was executed from the south, on a heading of 16.0° at 4 nm and 1,187 ft agl.
A go-around was initiated on runway 01 at LTBS at 0 ft agl, after which the aircraft re-entered the approach sequence.
Landing on runway 01, which is 3,002 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 85 ft agl and a threshold speed of 108 kt; the touchdown point was 323 m beyond the touchdown zone, the speed at touchdown was 88 kt, and the vertical speed was minus 128 fpm. The touchdown location was offset 8.0 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 34 °C, wind 10 kt from 190°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 10 kt tailwind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,855 m, equal to 62 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment was slightly off centreline by 9.5 m.
In total, the flight covered 246 nm, took 54 (units as provided), and consumed 487 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 01 at LTBS Dalaman International Airport was performed from the south on a heading of 16.0° at 4 nm and 1,187 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the aircraft carried a score of 86.2 %.
During the threshold and flare the aircraft encountered a threshold height of 85 ft agl, which was significantly above target, and a threshold speed of 108 kt, which was well above target. Local weather was 34 °C with wind 10 kt from 190°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 10 kt tailwind component.
Touchdown occurred 323 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 88 kt described as good and a smooth touchdown rate of minus 128 fpm. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.0 m from the centreline.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 1,855 m, representing 62 % of the 3,002 m runway, and the aircraft’s rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.5 m from the centreline.
Refine the flare to achieve a threshold height and speed closer to target, which will help reduce the downstream touchdown point. Align the touchdown point nearer the aim point to minimise lateral deviation and improve rollout alignment.
