MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Track the centreline
Next time
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 44 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 44 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 44 ft to touchdown.
Departure
Rotate the moment the speed tape reaches 125 kt, not after it.
What happened: Rotation was held until 136 kt, 11 kt past the 125 kt rotation target. Carrying that much extra speed into rotation usually adds unwanted energy right 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 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 1.7° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.4° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,851 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,135 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 13 at RKPC Jeju International Airport in 11 minutes, covering a ground distance of 4 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 13, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 136 kt and became airborne after a takeoff distance of 1,913 ft, representing 31 % of the runway; ambient temperature was 81 °F with a wind of 26 kt from 099°, providing a 24 kt headwind and an 11 kt cross-wind component.
The initial climb commenced overhead Jeju City, climbing from 451 ft asl to 4,979 ft asl, a gain of 4,529 ft achieved in 3 minutes while traversing 12 nm.
A level cruise segment began 10 nm southwest of RKPC, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
A subsequent climb started 5 nm north of RKGI Alddreu Airfield, ascending from 5,006 ft asl to 44,011 ft asl, an increase of 39,005 ft in 17 minutes over a distance of 119 nm.
The next cruise phase originated at latitude 32.7063857, longitude 124.420133, persisted for 5 minutes and spanned 37 nm.
Descent commenced at latitude 32.2354494, longitude 124.0341097, descending from 44,001 ft asl to 1,826 ft asl, a loss of 42,175 ft in 24 minutes while covering 162 nm.
A further climb began 6 nm south of ZSSS Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, climbing from 1,834 ft asl to 3,890 ft asl, a gain of 2,056 ft in 3 minutes across 6 nm.
The aircraft then entered a cruise segment 3 nm southeast of ZSSS, lasting 5 minutes and covering 15 nm.
A descent followed 6 nm north of Songjiang, dropping from 3,823 ft asl to 1,765 ft asl, a reduction of 2,058 ft in 2 minutes over 6 nm.
Subsequent level flight occurred 1 nm northwest of Songjiang, lasting 6 minutes and encompassing 16 nm.
For the final approach to runway 36L at ZSSS Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, the aircraft aligned from the south on a heading of 352.0°, intercepting the glide path at 3 nm and 1,275 ft agl.
Landing on runway 36L, which measures 9,851 ft, the aircraft touched down with a threshold speed of 115 kt; touchdown occurred 1,131 ft down the runway at 112 kt, with a heavy touchdown rate of minus 623 fpm; the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and local weather reported a temperature of 82 °F, wind 10 kt from 060°, a 9 kt cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind component.
The total landing roll measured 2,435 ft, equivalent to 25 % of the runway length, and the rollout alignment was offset by 31 ft from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 8 minutes, traveling a ground distance of 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 390 nm, required 84 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 2,163 lb of fuel.
The final approach to runway 36L at ZSSS Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport was conducted from the south on a heading of 352.0° at 3 nm and 1,275 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable because the sink rate was too high.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft crossed the threshold at a height of 68 ft agl, which was above the target. The threshold speed was recorded as good at 115 kt.
Touchdown occurred 1,131 ft down the runway, a distance judged good. The touchdown speed was 112 kt, noted as a little fast, and the vertical rate was heavy at minus 623 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect and the total landing distance was 2,435 ft, representing 25 % of the runway length.
Rollout alignment was slightly misaligned, the aircraft deviated 31 ft from the centreline.
Correct the high sink rate on final to achieve a stabilized approach and reduce the heavy touchdown rate by refining flare timing. Maintaining the target threshold height and ensuring a smoother flare will help keep touchdown speed within the optimal range.
