Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1.8°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,606 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 669 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Cessna Citation X aircraft, registered as N750VY. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the aircraft departed from runway 26R at OOMS Muscat International Airport, it encountered a local weather condition of 29°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 220°. The takeoff distance was 889 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 144 knots.
The enroute climb started 1 mile west of the airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,032 feet above sea level to 42,027 feet above sea level, an increase of 40,994 feet in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 173 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 49 miles east of OOMA RAFO Masirah Masirah and lasted for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 1,168 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 42,443 feet above sea level to 11,327 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,116 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 117 nautical miles. The descent phase was followed by a brief level cruise phase, which started 17 miles north-east of Mahibadhoo and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final descent phase started 12 miles west of Guraidhoo and took the aircraft from an altitude of 10,867 feet above sea level to 1,285 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,582 feet in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 36 at VRMM Malé International Airport, heading 360° at 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down 244 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 115 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 31°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 350°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots. The total flight distance was 1,490 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 69 minutes. The aircraft used 3,106 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Citation X, registration N750VY Black, successfully landed at VRMM Malé International Airport, achieving a score of 91.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 360.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to runway 36 was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 115 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was also satisfactory, at -138 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, at a distance of 244 meters.
The threshold height at 59 feet agl was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed of 127 knots was good. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 5.7 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing was considered successful.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 350°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach and landing.
Overall, the landing of the Cessna Citation X, N750VY Black, at VRMM Malé International Airport was a successful operation, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
