Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 196 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 155 kt against a target of 196 kt, running 41 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 196 kt.
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 215 m past the target, landing at 672 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up, centreline 2.0° off, against a 1° limit and speed 82 kt FAST on the reference speed of 107 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 37 kt FAST on the reference speed of 107 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,014 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,014 m of the 2,742 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 672 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Citation CJ4 taxied from the parking area to runway 01L at KICT Wichita Eisenhower National Airport, covering 2 nm in 14 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 01L, the aircraft used 2,572 m of runway, representing 82 % of the available length, and lifted off at 115 kt. Ambient conditions were 29 °C with a wind of 14 kt at 189°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 13 kt tail-wind.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile north of KICT, with the jet climbing from 2,263 ft asl to 44,950 ft asl, a gain of 42,688 ft achieved in 14 minutes while covering 151 nm.
Level cruise began about 1 mile west of 06MO Noah's Ark Airport in Missouri and continued for 32 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 941 nm.
Descent started 4 miles east of Val-des-Monts, Quebec, descending from 45,007 ft asl to 6,219 ft asl, a loss of 38,788 ft over 19 minutes and a distance of 110 nm.
A brief level segment followed, initiating 5 miles west of Maskinonge, Quebec, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
The final descent began 3 miles south of Maskinonge, dropping from 6,004 ft asl to 1,018 ft asl, a reduction of 4,986 ft in 5 minutes across 19 nm.
The aircraft entered the final approach to runway 05 at CYRQ Trois-Rivières Airport from the southwest, on a heading of 29.0° at 2 nm and 814 ft agl.
Touchdown occurred on runway 05, whose length is 2,742 m, with a threshold speed of 107 kt; the aircraft touched down 242 m beyond the touchdown zone at 94 kt, a rate of descent of minus 85 fpm, and was offset 5.9 m from the centreline. Local weather reported 18 °C, wind 3 kt at 30°, with no cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind.
The total landing roll measured 1,918 m, representing 70 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was noted to be 7.7 m off the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,235 nm, required 83 minutes of flight time, and consumed 1,554 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 05 at CYRQ was flown from the south-west on a heading of 29.0° at 2 NM and 814 ft agl. Local conditions were 18 °C with a 3 kt wind from 030° (headwind component 3 kt, crosswind 0 kt). At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable because the landing gear was not down.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was well above target at 107 kt. The aircraft crossed the threshold and the touchdown point occurred 242 m beyond the designated touchdown zone. Touchdown speed was a little fast at 94 kt, while the vertical touchdown rate was excellent at minus 85 fpm. The touchdown position was slightly off centreline by 5.9 m.
Touchdown occurred with a speed of 94 kt and a vertical rate of minus 85 fpm, and the aircraft contacted the runway 5.9 m to the right of the centreline.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 1,918 m, representing 70 % of the 2,742 m runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 m from the centreline.
To improve future scores, ensure the landing gear is extended before reaching the 1,000 ft gate and manage the approach speed to meet the target threshold speed, reducing the excess above the desired value.
