Top opportunity

Flight narrative

The Cessna 750 Citation X taxied from the parking area to runway 23 at Visakhapatnam Airport, a movement that lasted 11 minutes and covered 2 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 23, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 2,386 ft, representing 41 % of the runway, and lifted off at 137 kt. Ambient conditions were 88 °F with a wind of 7 kt from 220°, providing a 7 kt headwind and a 1 kt crosswind component.

Climb commenced overhead Gajuwaka, with the airplane ascending from 903 ft asl to 41,012 ft asl, a gain of 40,109 ft achieved in 17 minutes while covering 119 nm.

The first level cruise began 16 mi southeast of Bhadrachalam and persisted for 5 minutes, during which 48 nm were flown.

Descent started 6 mi southeast of Dornakal, the aircraft descending from 40,741 ft asl to 3,579 ft asl, a loss of 37,162 ft over 21 minutes and a distance of 130 nm.

A second level cruise was initiated 8 mi southwest of Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, lasting 8 minutes and encompassing 24 nm.

The final approach to runway 09L at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport was flown from the west, on a heading of 89.0° at 4 nm and 1,271 ft agl.

Landing on runway 09L was executed with a threshold height of 127 ft agl that was noted as excessively over target, while the threshold speed of 122 kt was within expectations. Touchdown occurred 951 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 116 kt, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 415 fpm and a lateral deviation of 11 ft from the centreline. Local weather reported 73 °F, wind 8 kt from 260° (8 kt tailwind, 1 kt crosswind). The total landing distance measured 5,028 ft, equivalent to 38 % of the runway.

Runway rollout alignment was described as very good, and the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 330 nm, required 64 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 1,780 lb of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Cessna 750 Citation X approached runway 09L at VOHS Rajiv Gandhi International Airport from the west on a heading of 89.0° at 4 nm and 1,271 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.

At threshold the aircraft was 127 ft agl, which was excessively over target, while the threshold speed of 122 kt was judged good.

Touchdown occurred 951 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 116 kt, described as a little fast, and a hard vertical rate of minus 415 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 11 ft from the centreline. Ambient conditions were 73 °F, wind 8 kt from 260°, with a 1 kt crosswind component and an 8 kt tailwind component.

The total landing distance was 5,028 ft, representing 38 % of the 13,325 ft runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.

To bring the landing closer to target, reduce the threshold height to meet the prescribed limit and adjust the flare to soften the hard touchdown rate. Fine-tuning the approach speed toward the optimum VREF will also help keep the touchdown point within the designated zone.

The flare tracked the target profile exactly. The aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 2,337 ft past the threshold. Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.
