Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.8 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

The 45-degrees-behind-the-wing cue assumes you can turn your head and use peripheral vision. Downwind spacing cues like "put the wingtip halfway up the strut" assume a fixed, known eyepoint. Neither survives a monitor unmodified. If you fly on a fixed monitor, stop pretending and fly a numbers-based circuit.

Landing report
Landing on runway 27 at NZWK Whakatane Airport in the Cessna Citation Longitude
Landing Score 95.02 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna Longitude successfully landed at Whakatane Airport (NZWK) on runway 27, achieving a score of 95.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 292.0° at 2 nautical miles and 833 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was above the target speed, reaching 120 knots. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown distance of 357 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's energy and land smoothly.

However, the touchdown speed of 114 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate. Nevertheless, the actual touchdown rate of -183 feet per minute (fpm) was still within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is essential for a safe landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a gentle headwind of 7 knots from 291°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots.

The total landing distance of 737 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.1 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control.

Overall, the Cessna Longitude's landing at Whakatane Airport was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent and speed. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and runway rollout alignment, the overall performance was satisfactory, earning a score of 95.0%.
