What went well

Touched down at -296 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 313 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 39 ft and 115 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft, then overspeed warning; speed limits at 63 %, −0.97 points
Departure Climb 3 — bank angle up to 19.1 ° at 55 %, −0.60 points
Arrival Rollout — bounce at touchdown; Runway alignment max 7.69 m left at 83 %, −0.32 points

Next time

Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 9.3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

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.

Flight narrative

Departing from KSPI Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport, the Cessna Citation X Winglets commenced its takeoff roll on runway 31. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 140 kt, clearing the runway threshold in 821 meters, which represented 37% of the available runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 10 °C, with a wind of 17 kt blowing from 340 °. The crosswind component was 9 kt, while the headwind component was 14 kt.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb, which began approximately 1 mile northwest of KSPI. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 1,577 ft asl to 25,000 ft asl, a vertical increase of 23,423 ft, in just 10 minutes and covering a distance of 50 nm. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 10 minutes and covered 70 nm. This was followed by a series of enroute level cruises and descents, with the aircraft transitioning between these phases as it navigated through the airspace. Notably, the aircraft's cruise altitude was maintained at 25,000 ft asl for a significant portion of the flight.

As the aircraft approached its destination, KDSM Des Moines International Airport, it began its final descent, transitioning from 25,007 ft asl to 3,012 ft asl in 7 minutes and covering 33 nm. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 24 minutes and covered 87 nm. Following this, the aircraft commenced its final descent, descending from 3,043 ft asl to 1,793 ft asl in 3 minutes and covering 5 nm. The aircraft then lined up for a final approach to runway 31, touching down at a speed of 102 kt and a touchdown distance of 312 m. The total landing distance was 712 m, representing 26% of the available runway length. Following touchdown, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing the flight with a total distance of 252 nm and a fuel consumption of 1,093 kg.

Landing Summary

The Cessna Citation X Winglets, painted in a distinctive silver, orange, and turquoise scheme, touched down safely on runway 31 at KDSM Des Moines International Airport. The aircraft's approach from the south east, heading 313.0° at 4 nm and 882 ft above ground level, was well-executed, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 115 kt, indicating a slight delay in the touchdown process.

As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 312 m, and the touchdown speed of 102 kt was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -296 fpm was fair, suggesting a slightly steeper descent than ideal. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.9 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the slightly uneven rollout. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8 °C and a crosswind of 13 kt, headwind of 25 kt, and wind direction of 340°, presented a moderate challenge to the pilot.

The total landing distance of 712 m, accounting for 26% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 m from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path. Despite these minor deviations, the overall performance of the aircraft was impressive, earning a score of 95.9%.
