MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Be on speed by the gate
Next time
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 24 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 24 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 24 ft to touchdown.
Departure
Rotate the moment the speed tape reaches 125 kt, not after it.
What happened: Rotation was held until 142 kt, 17 kt past the 125 kt rotation target. Carrying that much extra speed into rotation usually adds unwanted energy right at liftoff.
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: wings 11° of bank, against a 10° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 122 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,032 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 849 ft touchdown sits inside 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 26L at KATL, a movement that required 5 minutes and covered approximately 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 26L, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 3,070 ft, representing 31 % of the runway, and achieved liftoff at 143 kt. Ambient conditions were 63 °F with a 2-kt wind from 270°, providing a 2-kt headwind and no crosswind.
Climb commenced overhead College Park, GA, with the airplane ascending from 1,999 ft asl to 30,011 ft asl-a gain of 28,012 ft-over 12 minutes while covering 75 nm.
Level cruise began 1 mile southwest of Munford, AL, and was maintained for 54 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 475 nm.
Descent was initiated 4 miles southeast of Quitman, TX, with the aircraft descending from 30,007 ft asl to 1,542 ft asl, a loss of 28,465 ft, in 18 minutes and over a distance of 105 nm.
The final approach to runway 13 at KRBD was flown from the northwest, on a heading of 134.0° at 3 nm and 883 ft agl.
Landing on runway 13, which is 6,430 ft long, was executed with a threshold speed of 112 kt and a touchdown speed of 108 kt. The aircraft touched down after 1,242 ft, at a rate of minus 259 fpm, and alignment was noted as perfect. Weather at the time was 59 °F with a 2-kt wind from 270°, a 1-kt crosswind and a 1-kt tailwind.
The total landing distance recorded was 2,986 ft, equal to 46 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was described as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered 662 nm, lasted 93 minutes, and consumed 303 lbs of fuel.
The Cessna 750 Citation X approached runway 13 at KRBD Dallas Executive Airport from the north-west on a heading of 134.0° at 3 nm and 883 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a speed slightly below target at 112 kt and encountered good threshold height on a runway 6,430 ft long. Local weather was 59 °F with wind 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt tailwind component.
Touchdown occurred 1,242 ft down the runway at a speed of 108 kt, with a fair vertical rate of minus 259 fpm and perfect runway alignment.
The total landing distance was 2,986 ft, representing 46 % of the available runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Maintain the high overall standard reflected by the 98.2 % score while refining the threshold speed to meet the target and moderating the sink rate to achieve a gentler touchdown vertical rate.
