Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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.
Side view — the last 1,800 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,800 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 423 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 05L at UHHH Khabarovsk Novy Airport. The takeoff distance was 769 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 128 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -21°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 10°.
The enroute climb started 2 miles northeast of UHHH Khabarovsk Novy Airport and involved a significant increase in altitude, from 1,252 feet above sea level to 30,649 feet above sea level, over a distance of 43 nautical miles. This climb took 12 minutes to complete. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 181 nautical miles. This phase began 13 miles east of Smidovich in the Yevrey (Jewish) Autonomous Oblast, Russia.
As the flight continued, the enroute descent phase started 2 miles south of Bureya in the Amur Oblast, Russia. During this phase, the aircraft descended from 30,366 feet above sea level to 1,599 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,767 feet, over a distance of 98 nautical miles. This descent took 21 minutes to complete. The final approach to runway 36 at UHBB Ignatyevo Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 349.0° at an altitude of 998 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 36 at UHBB Ignatyevo Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 423 meters and a touchdown speed of 90 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -130 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of -19°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 20°.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 335 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 70 minutes. The aircraft used 469 kilograms of fuel during the flight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at UHBB Ignatyevo Airport, achieving a score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 349.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 998 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of -19°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 20°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 36, which has a length of 2,790 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 102 knots. The touchdown distance of 423 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 90 knots was good. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -130 feet per minute (fpm).
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 4.0 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The total landing distance of 1,702 meters was 61% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained very good alignment with the runway centerline, indicating a high level of control and precision from the pilot. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of skill and precision, resulting in a score of 96.2%.
