Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 18°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,006 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,264 ft 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 21 at KIOB Mount Sterling Montgomery County Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,689 feet, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of KIOB Mount Sterling Montgomery County Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,942 feet above sea level to 14,367 feet above sea level in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles north of Richmond, Kentucky. This phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 98 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles north of Eubank Field Fountain Run, descending from 15,009 feet above sea level to 6,370 feet above sea level in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase 1 mile northeast of Cottontown, Tennessee, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 3 miles northeast of Shackle Island, with the aircraft descending from 5,762 feet above sea level to 1,816 feet above sea level in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20L at KBNA Nashville International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 198.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,216 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 20L, which had a length of 8,006 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 96 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,266 feet, and the touchdown speed was 88 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was smooth at -137 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 2,185 feet, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 176 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 44 minutes. The aircraft used 2,913 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KBNA Nashville International Airport, achieving a score of 99.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 198.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,216 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 8,006 feet and its orientation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 96 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,266 feet was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 88 knots was well within the desired range. The touchdown rate of -137 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 2 knots and a headwind component of 1 knot. The aircraft's landing distance of 2,185 feet was only 27% of the runway's length, demonstrating excellent control and precision.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Overall, the Cessna CJ4 Citation's landing at KBNA Nashville International Airport was a textbook example of precision and control, with the aircraft executing a smooth and controlled touchdown.
