MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 81 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 8.7 ft, 2.6 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,766 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,716 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 36R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport for 8 minutes, covering 2 nm.
Takeoff was on runway 36R. The aircraft used 3,596 ft of runway, 27 % of the available length, and rotated at 150 kt. Local weather was 62 °F with wind 2 kt from 269°, a 2 kt cross-wind and no head-wind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 29 seconds, averaging 1,798 fpm and reaching 216 kt at the top of the climb.
The climb continued from 1,581 ft asl to 29,999 ft asl in 12 minutes, covering 71 nm, beginning 1 mile south-east of Grapevine.
Level cruise at 30,000 ft asl lasted 55 minutes, covering 482 nm, beginning 2 miles north of Bryson.
Descent from 30,017 ft asl to 11,334 ft asl took 8 minutes, covering 54 nm, beginning 15 miles south of Skyline-Ganipa.
A level segment at 11,500 ft asl lasted 6 minutes, covering 34 nm, beginning 2 miles south of South Valley.
Descent from 11,457 ft asl to 6,607 ft asl took 5 minutes, covering 22 nm, beginning 3 miles north of Highland Meadows.
Final approach to runway 08 at KABQ Albuquerque International Sunport descended from 1,330 ft agl to 64 ft agl in 97 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. The landing gear was down at 1,839 ft agl at 171 kt; final flap position 4 was selected at 165 ft agl at 133 kt.
Landing on runway 08, which is 12,766 ft long, had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 114 kt. The flare was described as good, with little round-out. Touchdown occurred 333 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 108 kt, a fair rate of -265 fpm, and was misaligned by 26 ft from the centreline. No bounce was observed.
Total landing distance was 3,915 ft, 31 % of the runway. Runway rollout was slightly misaligned by 33 ft from the centreline. Local weather at the airport was 59 °F with wind 2 kt from 270°, no cross-wind and a 2 kt tailwind.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area for 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
The flight covered 671 nm in 94 minutes and used 6,422 lb of fuel.
