Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 125 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 143 kt, 18 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 125 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 118 kt well before the gate.
What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 130 kt against the 118 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 634 m against the 457 m target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 118 kt at the threshold
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: centreline 1.0° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 30 kt FAST on the reference speed of 118 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,921 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 634 m past the threshold — beyond 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 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport in 13 minutes, covering 5 nm on the ground.
During the departure roll on runway 28R, the aircraft used 960 m of runway, representing 27 % of the available length, and lifted off at 143 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 290°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
The climb commenced over San Bruno, California, with the aircraft ascending from 730 ft asl to 44 771 ft asl, a gain of 44 040 ft achieved in 26 minutes while covering 185 nm.
Level cruise began 4 miles southeast of KSPN Spanish Springs Airport, Nevada, and continued for 48 minutes, during which 428 nm were flown.
Descent started 4 miles west of Thayne, Wyoming, with the aircraft descending from 44 996 ft asl to 7 206 ft asl, a loss of 37 790 ft in 15 minutes while traversing 98 nm.
The final approach to runway 01 at KJAC Jackson Hole Airport involved a descent from 819 ft agl to -5 ft agl in 92 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 01 was executed with a runway length of 1 921 m; the threshold speed was recorded at 130 kt, above the target. Touchdown occurred 216 m beyond the touchdown zone at 119 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 47 fpm and perfect alignment. Local weather was 5 °C with calm winds (0 kt at 359°) and no cross-wind or head-wind. The total landing roll measured 1 283 m, equivalent to 67 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 724 nm, required 106 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 1 543 kg of fuel.
The Cessna 750 Citation X achieved a score of 96.5 % on the landing. On final approach to runway 01 at KJAC Jackson Hole Airport the aircraft was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The descent was from 819 ft agl to -5 ft agl in 92 seconds and the approach was scored on the stabilisation gates. Local weather was 5 °C with wind 0 kt from 359°.
At threshold the aircraft entered the flare with a threshold speed of 130 kt, noted as well above the target, and a good threshold height. The flare proceeded without further comment.
Touchdown occurred 216 m beyond the touchdown zone. Touchdown speed was 119 kt, described as a little fast, while the vertical rate was minus 47 fpm, rated perfect. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,283 m, representing 67 % of the 1,921 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
To tighten the already strong performance, reduce the threshold and touchdown speeds toward the target values to bring the touchdown point closer to the 300 m (1,000 ft) aim point, thereby preserving runway margin. Maintaining the current alignment and flare technique will support this refinement.
