MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 2.7°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to stop the drift as soon as it starts in the flare.
What happened: On the landing you drifted 65 ft off the centreline, and that kind of lateral drift usually carries through to a touchdown point 57 ft off centreline and into a rollout that is still skewed off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Heading indicator: track straight down the extended runway centreline through touchdown and rollout.
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,475 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,849 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 750 Citation X taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in eight minutes, covering three nautical miles before line-up.
Departure roll was executed on runway 22 at EGAC George Best Belfast City Airport; the aircraft used 2,217 ft of runway, representing 37 % of the available length, and lifted off at 135 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 63 °F, wind 14 kt from 220°, with a 1 kt crosswind component and a 14 kt headwind.
The initial climb began overhead EGAC, climbing from 636 ft asl to 23,024 ft asl, an altitude gain of 22,388 ft in seven minutes while traversing 26 nm.
A brief level cruise followed one mile east of Cullybackey, lasting two minutes and covering eight nautical miles.
The next climb segment started one mile north of Dunloy, rising from 23,359 ft asl to 39,990 ft asl, a gain of 16,631 ft in ten minutes over a distance of 65 nm.
A subsequent cruise phase occurred 26 miles north of Ballyliffin, lasting five minutes and encompassing 36 nm.
Climbing again from a point 55 miles south-west of EGPU Tiree Airport, the aircraft ascended from 40,007 ft asl to 49,685 ft asl, an increase of 9,678 ft in ten minutes while covering 70 nm.
A short cruise followed 80 miles west of Barra, lasting two minutes and spanning 11 nm.
Descent commenced at latitude 57.1362691, longitude -10.1298983, dropping from 50,011 ft asl to 40,006 ft asl, a loss of 10,004 ft in six minutes across 48 nm.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise at latitude 57.8549011, longitude -10.8342493, which persisted for forty minutes and covered 341 nm.
A further descent began 69 miles south-east of BIVI Vík Airport, descending from 40,006 ft asl to 8,010 ft asl, a reduction of 31,996 ft in twenty-three minutes over 157 nm.
A brief cruise followed sixteen miles north-east of Mosfellsbaer, lasting two minutes and covering six nautical miles.
Descent resumed eleven miles north-east of BIMS Tungubakkar Airport, falling from 7,997 ft asl to 5,010 ft asl, a loss of 2,987 ft in three minutes across 13 nm.
Another cruise segment occurred four miles east of Akranes, lasting two minutes and covering six nautical miles.
The final descent started eight miles north-east of Akranes, dropping from 4,577 ft asl to 1,162 ft asl, a decrease of 3,415 ft in four minutes over 15 nm.
During the final approach to runway 19 at BIRK Reykjavik Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,164 ft agl to 112 ft agl in 108 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 19, whose length is 5,475 ft, the threshold height of 72 ft agl was well above target and the threshold speed of 104 kt was slightly below target. Touchdown occurred well beyond the runway midpoint, using more than 50 % of the available runway; touchdown speed was 94 kt and the vertical speed was minus 342 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 57 ft from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 43 °F, wind 8 kt from 74°, with an 8 kt crosswind and a 2 kt tailwind.
The rollout distance measured 4,154 ft, representing 76 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment during rollout was off by 55 ft from the centreline.
Taxi-in to the parking area required seven minutes and covered less than one nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered 811 nm, lasted 129 (units as given), and consumed 4,124 lbs of fuel.
