Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 125 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 150 kt against a rotation target of 125 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 125 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 114 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 111 kt against a VREF of 114 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 114 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
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 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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 34 kt FAST on the reference speed of 114 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 17 kt FAST on the reference speed of 114 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,911 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,474 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 750 Citation X taxied from the parking area to runway 33 at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport in four minutes, covering less than one nautical mile.
During the departure roll on runway 33, the aircraft used 2,897 ft of runway, representing 53 % of the available length, and lifted off at 150 kt. Ambient conditions were 64 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, providing a 1 kt headwind and a 2 kt crosswind.
Climb commenced one mile northwest of KARR, rising from 1,694 ft asl to 21,136 ft asl, an altitude gain of 19,442 ft achieved in eight minutes while traversing 38 nm.
The first level-cruise segment began three miles southeast of 22LL Pike’s Airport, Ottawa, Illinois, and lasted 42 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 321 nm.
Descent began overhead KPGR Kirk Field, Paragould, Arkansas, with the aircraft descending from 21,050 ft asl to 1,802 ft asl, a loss of 19,248 ft in twelve minutes and a distance of 63 nm.
A second cruise segment was flown overhead West Memphis, Arkansas, lasting three minutes and covering 10 nm.
The final approach to runway 09 at KMEM Memphis International Airport was executed from the west, on a heading of 92.0° at four nautical miles out and 1,290 ft agl.
Landing on runway 09, which is 8,911 ft long, occurred with a threshold speed of 111 kt. Touchdown was recorded at 1,471 ft down the runway, at 101 kt, with a smooth vertical speed of minus 132 fpm and a lateral deviation of 24 ft from the centreline. The total landing distance was 2,924 ft, representing 33 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
After touchdown, the aircraft rolled out cleanly and came to a stop within the remaining runway length.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than one minute, covering less than one nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered 439 nm, required 71 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 0 lbs of fuel.
The Cessna 750 Citation X executed a final approach to runway 09 at KMEM Memphis International Airport from the west, tracking a heading of 92.0° at 4 nm and 1,290 ft AGL. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the local weather was 59 °F with wind 2 kt from 270°, crosswind 0 kt and tailwind 2 kt.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 111 kt.
Touchdown occurred 1,471 ft down the runway at a speed of 101 kt, both rated good, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 132 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 24 ft from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 2,924 ft, representing 33 % of the 8,911 ft runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
Maintain the excellent speed and rate control demonstrated, and concentrate on reducing the 24-ft lateral deviation at touchdown to achieve precise centreline alignment.
