Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.8° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 13° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 119 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 113 kt against a VREF of 119 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 119 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
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 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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up, centreline 12.8° off, against a 1° limit and speed 39 kt FAST on the reference speed of 119 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 6.3° off, against a 1° limit and speed 25 kt FAST on the reference speed of 119 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,133 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,133 ft of the 9,843 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3,491 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 1.74 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 750 Citation X taxied from the parking area to runway 34R at OEJN King Abdulaziz International Airport, a movement that required 18 minutes and covered 8 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 34R, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 3,443 ft, representing 26 % of the runway, and lifted off at 140 kt. Local weather at the time was 99 °F with a wind of 5 kt from 249°, a cross-wind component of 5 kt and no head-wind.
Enroute climb commenced 1 mile north-east of OEJN, with the aircraft climbing from 920 ft asl to 34,991 ft asl, an increase of 34,071 ft achieved in 16 minutes while covering 105 nm.
Level cruise began 60 miles west of Rabigh (Mecca Region, Saudi Arabia) and continued for 20 minutes, during which 183 nm were flown.
Descent started 25 miles east of Marsa Alam (Red Sea Governorate, Egypt), with the aircraft descending from 34,995 ft asl to 696 ft asl, a loss of 34,300 ft in 26 minutes and a distance of 152 nm.
The final approach to runway 20 at HELX Luxor International Airport was executed from the north-east, on a heading of 206.0° at 1 nm and 402 ft agl.
Landing on runway 20, which is 9,822 ft long, occurred with a threshold height of 104 ft agl that was excessively over target and a threshold speed of 113 kt that was slightly below target. The touchdown point was 1,992 ft beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed was 114 kt, and the touchdown rate was minus 596 fpm. The aircraft touched down 70 ft off the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 4,734 ft, 48 % of the runway. Runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 66 ft from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a movement that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 452 nm, took 81 minutes, and consumed 2,304 lbs of fuel.
The Cessna 750 Citation X approached runway 20 at HELX Luxor International Airport on a final heading of 206.0° from the north-east, descending to 1 nm and 402 ft agl. The aircraft carried a score of 66.2 % and encountered local conditions of 82 °F temperature, wind 3 kt from 160°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
At threshold the height of 104 ft agl was reported as excessively over target, while the threshold speed of 113 kt was slightly below target.
Touchdown occurred 1,992 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 114 kt that was a little fast, and the aircraft settled with a very hard rate of minus 596 fpm. The touchdown point was significantly misaligned by 70 ft from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 4,734 ft, representing 48 % of the 9,822 ft runway.
During rollout the aircraft remained misaligned by 66 ft from the centreline.
Refine flare technique to achieve a softer touchdown rate and concentrate on precise alignment at touchdown to reduce lateral deviation on the runway. Maintaining a more accurate centreline track will also improve rollout alignment.
