Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 6,982 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,982 ft of the 13,490 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 841 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 17R at KOKC Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The takeoff distance was 37 meters, which is 1% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Oklahoma City, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and winds of 13 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the headwind was 11 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of the airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,283 feet above sea level to 10,359 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,076 feet in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 3 miles west of Union City, Oklahoma. This cruise phase lasted for 24 minutes and covered a distance of 131 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 3 miles west of Jim Roach Field in Niederwald, Texas. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 10,193 feet above sea level to 4,226 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,966 feet in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 40 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles west of Panhandle, Texas. This cruise phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22 at KAMA Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport was made from the north-east, heading 222.0 degrees at an altitude of 420 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 22 was made with a threshold speed that was excessively high at 126 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good at 258 meters, and the touchdown speed was excessively fast at 124 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -160 feet per minute. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 23.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as during the takeoff, with a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and winds of 13 knots at 210 degrees.
The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 13 knots. The total landing distance was 2,101 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also significantly misaligned by 31.3 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 208 nautical miles and took 63 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 542 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at KAMA Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft scored 79.1% on its landing, indicating that there were some areas for improvement. The final approach to runway 22 was initiated from the north east, heading 222.0° at 4 nautical miles and 420 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 126 knots. This is a concern as it may indicate that the pilot did not properly configure the aircraft for landing. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 258 meters, but the touchdown speed was also excessively fast at 124 knots. This could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may have compromised the safety of the passengers and crew.
The touchdown rate was good, measuring -160 feet per minute, which indicates that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and safely after touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 23.8 meters from the centerline, which could have made the landing more difficult and may have required the pilot to make adjustments to the aircraft's alignment.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from 210°. The crosswind was minimal, measuring 4 knots, while the headwind was 13 knots. These conditions would have made the landing relatively straightforward, but the pilot's performance was still not optimal.
The total landing distance was 2,101 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the pilot may have taken a more cautious approach to the landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was also significantly misaligned by 31.3 meters from the centerline, which could have made the landing more difficult and may have required the pilot to make adjustments to the aircraft's alignment.
Overall, while the Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft was able to land safely at KAMA Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport, the pilot's performance was not optimal. There were several areas for improvement, including the threshold speed, touchdown speed, and runway touchdown position. With some additional training and practice, the pilot should be able to improve their performance and achieve a higher score on future landings.
