What went well

Straight touchdown — 0.64 m off the centreline, no bounce
Flare on profile — 98 %
Rollout held the centreline — 0.30 m off at taxi speed

What held you back

Departure Climb 3 — climb speed 229 kt against 169 kt at 39 %, −1.63 points
Departure Roll — Landing Lights at 0 %, Strobe Lights at 0 %, −1.29 points
Arrival Approach — GPWS warning; 1,000 ft gate 100 %, 500 ft gate 83 %, −0.56 points

Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 169 kt and hold it there.

What happened: Climb speed was 60 kt fast at 229 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 169 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 117 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.

What happened: Crossing the threshold at 124 kt, 7 kt above 117 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 117 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Flight narrative

The Cessna 750 Citation X taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in nine minutes, covering a distance of one nautical mile before lining up on runway 29 at PAKT Ketchikan International Airport.

During the departure roll, the aircraft used 1,203 m of runway, representing 52 % of the available length, and lifted off at 166 kt. Ambient conditions were 22 °C with a wind of 10 kt from 339°, including a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 9 kt head-wind component.

Climb commenced overhead the 9C0 Peninsula Point Pullout Seaplane Base, with the jet accelerating from 1,020 ft asl to 31,323 ft asl, a gain of 30,304 ft achieved in 12 minutes while covering 79 nm.

The first cruise segment began 19 nm northwest of CAN6 Prince Rupert/Digby Island Seaplane Base and continued for 45 minutes, during which 393 nm were flown at level altitude.

Descent started six nautical miles northeast of Parksville, reducing altitude from 32,008 ft asl to 20,997 ft asl, a loss of 11,011 ft in three minutes while traversing 27 nm.

A brief cruise followed one mile east of Ladysmith, lasting two minutes and covering 12 nm at constant altitude.

The next descent began two miles east of CML2 Quamichan Lake (Raven Field) Airport, dropping from 20,999 ft asl to 3,814 ft asl, a decrease of 17,184 ft over seven minutes and 37 nm.

Subsequent level flight was overhead WA09 Roche Harbor Airport, lasting five minutes and encompassing 22 nm.

A further descent commenced one mile southeast of W49 Rosario Seaplane Base, lowering the aircraft from 3,798 ft asl to 3,149 ft asl, a loss of 649 ft in two minutes across seven nautical miles.

Another cruise segment started four miles northwest of Anacortes, persisting for two minutes and covering six nautical miles.

The final descent began four miles northeast of Anacortes, reducing altitude from 2,938 ft asl to 1,489 ft asl, a loss of 1,449 ft in three minutes while flying nine nautical miles.

On final approach to runway 34 at KBLI Bellingham International Airport, the aircraft approached from the south on a heading of 358.0°, intercepting the glide path at four nautical miles out and 1,314 ft agl.

Landing was executed on runway 34, whose length is 2,044 m. The threshold speed was 124 kt, and touchdown occurred 104 m beyond the touchdown zone at 112 kt with a vertical speed of minus 222 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the total landing roll measured 1,316 m, equivalent to 64 % of the runway.

Runway rollout alignment remained perfect as the aircraft decelerated to a stop on the paved surface.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in two minutes, covering less than one nautical mile before shutdown.

Overall, the flight covered 600 nm, required 94 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 1,682 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Cessna 750 Citation X entered the final approach to runway 34 at KBLI Bellingham International Airport from the south on a heading of 358.0° at 4 nm and 1,314 ft agl; the approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high, with local conditions of 19 °C temperature, wind 6 kt from 170°, crosswind 1 kt and tailwind 6 kt.

At threshold the aircraft maintained a good height and a good threshold speed of 124 kt, establishing the flare with the expected parameters.

Touchdown occurred 104 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a good touchdown speed of 112 kt, a fair touchdown rate of minus 222 fpm, and perfect runway touchdown alignment.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,316 m, representing 64 % of the 2,044 m runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.

To convert the high sink rate into a stabilized approach, the crew should refine vertical speed control during the final 1,000 ft segment, and a smoother touchdown rate can be achieved by adjusting flare timing while preserving the current speed and alignment performance.
