Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 130 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 147 kt, 17 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 130 kt 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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,019 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,826 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,856 feet, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. There was a slight crosswind of 2 knots, but no headwind. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,575 feet above sea level to 20,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,435 feet, in just 8 minutes and covering a distance of 31 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 76 minutes and covered a distance of 499 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 2 miles west of Talty, Texas. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles north of Blackwater Airfield Munson in Florida. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 19,998 feet above sea level to 2,989 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,009 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 53 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 7 miles south of Ponce de Leon, Florida. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile northwest of Redhead Airport Ebro in Florida. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,619 feet above sea level to 1,351 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,268 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16 at KECP Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 159.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 16, which had a length of 10,019 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 123 knots. The touchdown point was 447 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 110 knots, which was too fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -222 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. There was a slight crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 3,356 feet, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 601 nautical miles and took 109 minutes to complete. Notably, the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at KECP Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, achieving a score of 91.9%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 159.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 16, which has a length of 10,019 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 123 knots, which may have been a concern for the pilots. The touchdown point was 447 feet beyond the touchdown zone, suggesting that the aircraft may have landed slightly too far down the runway.
The touchdown speed of 110 knots was also reported as too fast, which could have resulted in a longer landing distance. The touchdown rate of -222 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a positive aspect of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was 1 knot. These conditions would have made the landing relatively straightforward.
The total landing distance was 3,356 feet, which is 33% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down and stop quickly after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a high score of 91.9%. However, there were some areas for improvement, including the excessively high threshold speed and the too-fast touchdown speed.
