Flare on profile — 100 %

What held you back

Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; speed limits at 80 %, −0.53 points
Arrival Touchdown — Landing Bounce at 80 %, −0.23 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold height at 58 ft agl was slightly above target at 94 %, −0.11 points

Next time

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 113 kt before crossing the threshold.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 128 kt, 15 kt above the 113 kt target.

Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 113 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

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

The flight in question was operated by a Cessna Citation X aircraft, registered as C-FWRX, with winglets. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.

As the aircraft departed from runway 29 at YPDN Darwin International Airport, also known as RAAF Darwin, it achieved a takeoff distance of 936 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 149 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 4 knots at 290 degrees, with no crosswind and a headwind of 4 knots.

Following departure, the aircraft initiated an enroute climb, starting overhead YPDN Darwin International Airport. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from 1,119 feet above sea level to 5,079 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,960 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase began approximately 4 miles south west of Larrakeyah, Northern Territory, Australia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated another enroute climb, this time from 5,117 feet above sea level to 46,152 feet above sea level, an increase of 41,035 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 144 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase resumed approximately 1 mile north west of YPTN Tindal Airport Katherine, Northern Territory, Australia, and lasted for 114 minutes, covering a distance of 1,400 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 5 miles south of Lake Boga, State of Victoria, Australia. During this descent, the aircraft descended from 44,433 feet above sea level to 492 feet above sea level, a decrease of 43,940 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 144 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 26 at YMEN Melbourne Essendon Airport was conducted from the east, with the aircraft heading 268.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 227 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 26 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 117 knots and a touchdown rate of -156 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 456 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius. The total landing distance was 1,110 meters, accounting for 58% of the runway.
