Flight Score
Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 1.8°.
What happened: The wings held 1.8° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 1.6° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout 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: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,495 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 634 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Citation CJ3+ aircraft, registered as N60US. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the aircraft prepared for departure, it rolled down runway 04R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport, a 2,495-meter runway. The takeoff distance was 465 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 120 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 87 degrees.
The enroute climb phase of the flight began as the aircraft departed the airport, climbing from an initial altitude of 1,009 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 30,025 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 49 nautical miles and took 12 minutes to complete. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The flight continued with a series of enroute climbs and level cruises, with the aircraft climbing from 30,791 feet to 34,075 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 27 minutes and covered a distance of 177 nautical miles.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its descent phase, starting from an altitude of 34,119 feet above sea level and descending to 6,300 feet above sea level in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 68 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 36 nautical miles.
The final descent phase of the flight began as the aircraft approached LYTV Tivat Airport, with the aircraft descending from 6,268 feet above sea level to 414 feet above sea level in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 32, a 2,495-meter runway, from the south-east, heading 318.0 degrees at an altitude of 398 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed safely on runway 32, with a touchdown point located 202 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 90 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -89 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 300 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,392 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 365 nautical miles, taking 79 minutes to complete, and used 631 kilograms of fuel.
The Citation CJ3+ aircraft, registered as N60US, successfully landed at LYTV Tivat Airport, achieving a high score of 94.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, aligning itself with a heading of 318.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 398 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, culminating in a smooth touchdown on runway 32, which has a length of 2,495 meters.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the optimal altitude for touchdown. The threshold speed of 106 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown point was located 202 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 90 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -89 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a controlled and gentle descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 35°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 300°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach. The total landing distance of 1,392 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the wind conditions.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 94.5%.
