Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 169 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 32 kt fast at 201 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 169 kt in the climb
Arrival
Raise the nose more slowly in the flare and stop as soon as the sink is checked; if it balloons, hold the attitude.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink only for 176 fpm of it to come back as the aircraft ballooned before touchdown; this pattern usually carries the touchdown further down the runway, and here it touched down 432 ft past the target point.
Watch for: The runway ahead: the aircraft still sinking gently towards it through the flare, never rising.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six 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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 47 kt FAST on the reference speed of 115 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 25 kt FAST on the reference speed of 115 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,674 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,932 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 750 Citation X taxied from the parking area to runway 27 at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport; the taxi-out required 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 27, using 2,649 ft (41 % of the runway) before rotating at 132 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 64 °F, wind 2 kt from 270°, providing a 2 kt headwind and zero crosswind.
Climb began 1 mile east of Big Rock, Illinois, with the aircraft ascending from 1,690 ft asl to 30,004 ft asl, an increase of 28,314 ft in 12 minutes while covering 74 nm.
Level cruise was established 2 miles north of II04 North West Indiana Air Airport Brook, Indiana, and persisted for 42 minutes, during which 366 nm were flown.
Descent started 7 miles northwest of Mountain City, Tennessee, descending from 30,001 ft asl to 2,033 ft asl, a loss of 27,968 ft in 15 minutes and covering 91 nm.
Final approach to runway 18L at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport began from 1,331 ft agl and descended to 62 ft agl in 94 seconds; the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
The aircraft landed on runway 18L, whose length is 8,674 ft. Threshold speed was 115 kt and the touchdown point was 531 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 102 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 294 fpm. Touchdown was offset 22 ft from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 59 °F, wind 2 kt from 270° with a 2 kt crosswind and no headwind. Total landing distance measured 3,523 ft (41 % of the runway) and runway rollout alignment was very good.
Runway rollout proceeded smoothly, maintaining the aircraft on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
After rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area; this taxi-in lasted less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 537 nm, required 74 (as reported) of time, and used 0 lbs of fuel.
