Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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 1,644 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,644 m of the 3,526 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 483 m 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 142 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 07 at RPLB Subic Bay International Airport. The takeoff distance was 739 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 124 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 30 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,057 feet above sea level to 33,303 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,246 feet in just 14 minutes, covering a distance of 68 nautical miles. The climb started 1 mile south of Olongapo in Central Luzon, Philippines. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 53 minutes and covered a distance of 372 nautical miles. This phase started 13 miles southwest of Cabra in Mimaropa, Philippines.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 33,018 feet above sea level to 13,429 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,589 feet in just 11 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles. This descent started 59 miles northwest of Balabac in Mimaropa, Philippines. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 49 nautical miles. This phase started 51 miles northwest of WBKT Kudat Airport in Kudat, Sabah, Malaysia.
The aircraft then began its final descent from 12,874 feet above sea level to 10,018 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,856 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. This descent started 25 miles northwest of Kota Belud in Sabah, Malaysia. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. This phase started 18 miles west of Kota Belud in Sabah, Malaysia.
The aircraft then began its final descent from 9,701 feet above sea level to 1,284 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,417 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. This descent started 16 miles west of Kota Belud in Sabah, Malaysia. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 20 at WBKK Kota Kinabalu International Airport from the north, heading 203.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,264 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 20 at WBKK Kota Kinabalu International Airport, which had a length of 3,526 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 33 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 4 knots. The touchdown point was 94 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 97 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -48 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,590 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 607 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 112 minutes. The aircraft used 508 kilograms of fuel
The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at WBKK Kota Kinabalu International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.4%. The final approach to runway 20 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 203.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 110 knots. The touchdown point was located 94 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 97 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -48 feet per minute was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 5.4 meters off the centerline. This may be attributed to the crosswind component of 1 knot, which was relatively minor. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 33°.
The total landing distance of 1,590 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more precise alignment with the runway centerline.
