Landing on runway 35R at KCOS City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 98.31 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at the City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (KCOS) on runway 35R. The aircraft scored an impressive 98.3% on its final approach, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its landing procedure.

The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading directly towards the threshold at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,224 feet above ground level. The runway length of 13,510 feet provided ample space for the CJ4 to touch down safely. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway.

Upon touchdown, the CJ4's threshold speed was significantly higher than the target speed, reaching 106 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's high approach speed or the pilot's decision to flare the aircraft more aggressively. The touchdown distance of 1,506 feet was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 93 knots was slightly above the recommended speed.

The touchdown rate of -118 feet per minute was smooth, indicating that the aircraft's descent was well-controlled and gentle. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, with the aircraft touching down 21 feet off the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a miscalculation by the pilot.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal, and the headwind component was zero, making the landing conditions relatively straightforward.

The total landing distance of 2,712 feet was within 20% of the runway length, indicating that the CJ4 had sufficient space to stop safely after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, with the aircraft tracking very closely to the centerline as it decelerated.

Overall, the Cessna CJ4 Citation's landing at KCOS was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
