Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear promptly once a positive rate is confirmed, before reaching the gate altitude.
What happened: Gear retraction was late relative to the target height for this stage of the climb.
Watch for: Landing gear position against the retraction height gate.
Arrival
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to keep the deviation within 26 ft.
What happened: During rollout the aircraft drifted off the runway centreline, reaching a maximum deviation of 26 ft.
Watch for: Runway centreline position, staying within 26 ft of centreline.
See Arrival Rollout
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,988 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 313 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Citation Longitude taxied from the parking area to runway 31 at KLEE Leesburg International Airport, a movement that lasted 5 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 31, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 126 kt and became airborne after traveling 1,883 ft, representing 32 % of the runway length; ambient conditions were 61 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind.
Climb began over 48FA Silver Lake Seaplane Base, with the jet ascending from 1,019 ft asl to 35,007 ft asl, a gain of 33,988 ft achieved in 15 minutes while covering 82 nm.
Level cruise was established 6 mi east of FL50 Rossi Field Lake City and was maintained for 67 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 519 nm.
Descent commenced 2 mi north-west of KGDA Marion-Crittenden Co Johnson R Marion, with altitude decreasing from 34,997 ft asl to 1,736 ft asl, a loss of 33,261 ft in 18 minutes over a distance of 109 nm.
The final approach to runway 32R at KBLV Scott AFB/Midamerica Airport was flown from the south-east on a heading of 317.0° at 4 nm and 1,282 ft agl.
Landing on runway 32R, which is 9,988 ft long, was executed with a threshold speed of 106 kt; touchdown occurred at 308 ft down the runway at a speed of 105 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 203 fpm and very good alignment; local weather was 59 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,919 ft, 19 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment was slightly off centreline by 26 ft; touchdown distance and rate were noted as good and fair respectively.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 717 nm, required 108 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 0 lbs of fuel.
The final approach to runway 32R at KBLV Scott AFB/Midamerica Airport was flown from the south-east on a heading of 317.0° at 4 nm and 1,282 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. Local weather was 59 °F with wind 2 kt from 270°, including a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 106 kt.
Touchdown occurred 308 ft down the runway at a speed of 105 kt, noted as a little fast, with a fair touchdown rate of minus 203 fpm and very good runway touchdown alignment. Total landing distance was 1,919 ft, representing 19 % of the 9,988 ft runway.
Rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 26 ft from the centreline.
With a score of 96.5 % the landing was strong; refining flare timing to reduce touchdown speed and maintaining precise centreline tracking through rollout will tighten the remaining small variances.
