Flight Score
Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,452 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,225 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then took off from runway 35 at O22 Columbia, with a takeoff distance of 3,009 feet, which was 82% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 65°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Columbia, California, and ascended from 2,958 feet above sea level to 9,005 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,048 feet, in just 4 minutes and covering 16 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles west of Copperopolis, California, and lasted for 8 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 39 nautical miles. The descent from 9,005 feet above sea level to 1,262 feet above sea level began 3 miles west of KTCY Tracy Municipal Airport, Tracy, California, and took 10 minutes to complete, covering 29 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28R at KOAK San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport was made from the east, heading 292.0°, at 4 nautical miles and 1,247 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 28R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,228 feet, which was 53% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 105 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -206 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 90 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 29 minutes, with no fuel consumption.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed on runway 28R at KOAK San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport, achieving a score of 98.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 292.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions. The temperature was 59°F, with a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft's speed and altitude were well-managed, with a threshold speed of 113 knots and a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly higher than ideal, at 105 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 1,228 feet was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -206 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control.
The total landing distance of 2,890 feet was 53% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good judgment and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the landing was executed with precision and skill.
