MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 21 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Add power on short final to hold 120 kt over the threshold.
What happened: Threshold speed was 14 kt slow at 106 kt, and the flare began late at 8.2 ft, well below the normal band. Crossing slow and flaring late like this usually leaves little energy and time to check the sink, and the touchdown then comes in firm.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 120 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: sink rate 1,730 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and speed 33.3 kt FAST on the reference speed of 120 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 1.9° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,784 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 846 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 the runway for 17 minutes, covering 3 nm, and departed runway 08 at KABQ Albuquerque International Sunport. Take-off was completed in 2,990 ft, 23 % of the runway, with rotation at 126 kt. Local weather was 64 °F, wind 2 kt from 270°, crosswind 0 kt and tailwind 2 kt.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 33 seconds, averaging 1,496 fpm and reaching 197 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 6,335 ft asl to 24,473 ft asl in 7 minutes, covering 44 nm, beginning the climb 2 mi east of KABQ.
Cruise was level at 25,000 ft asl for 55 minutes, covering 465 nm, with the aircraft positioned 7 mi north-west of Galisteo.
Descent began from 24,564 ft asl to 2,390 ft asl in 15 minutes, covering 77 nm, starting 1 mi south of 51KS Barnard Airport Elmo, with a brief level-off at 3,500 ft asl.
Final approach to runway 13 at KFOE Topeka Regional Airport descended from 1,373 ft agl to 39 ft agl in 101 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, centreline, and wings level; they were not met for sink rate (at one gate), glideslope (at one gate) and speed (at one gate). The landing gear was lowered at 1,495 ft agl at 213 kt. Final flap position 4 was selected at 120 ft agl at 116 kt.
Landing on runway 13, runway length 12,784 ft, had a good threshold height. Threshold speed was a little below target at 106 kt. The flare was described as very good, with little round-out. Touchdown occurred at 845 ft from the threshold, speed 102 kt, rate -231 fpm. Touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 ft from the centreline; there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 2,230 ft, 17 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 26 ft from the centreline.
Local weather at KFOE was 59 °F, wind 2 kt from 270°, crosswind 1 kt and tailwind 1 kt. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
The flight covered a total of 595 nm in 84 minutes and used 0 lb of fuel.
