What went well

Touched down at -131 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 9.9 ft off the centreline, no bounce
1.17 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — GPWS warning; Landing and flare profile at 41 %, Threshold speed was excessively high at 125 kn. at 42 %, −1.23 points
Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft, then overspeed warning; speed limits at 70 %, −0.80 points
Arrival Taxi — landing lights; peak speed in a turn 18 kt at 88 %, −0.41 points

Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 17R at the City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (KCOS).

As the aircraft took off, it covered a takeoff distance of 3,073 feet, which was 28% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 143 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.

After departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the Black Hollow Heliport (5CO5) in Colorado. The climb took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 35 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 7,131 feet above sea level to 25,012 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,881 feet.

The enroute level cruise phase began 3 miles northeast of the Youtsey Airport (CO09) in Colorado and lasted for 43 minutes, covering a distance of 298 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 4 miles west of the Scott Airport (7OK2) in Oklahoma. The descent took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 70 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 25,003 feet above sea level to 3,310 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,693 feet.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles north of Burkburnett in Texas and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The enroute descent phase began 4 miles north of Burkburnett and took 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 2,984 feet above sea level to 2,248 feet above sea level, a decrease of 736 feet.

The final approach to runway 15C at the Wichita Falls Municipal Airport / Sheppard Air Force Base (KSPS) was made from the north, heading 158.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,236 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 15C, which had a length of 10,016 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 125 knots.

The touchdown point was 1,078 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 102 knots, which was fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -120 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.

The total landing distance was 4,985 feet, which was 50% of the runway length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 420 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 86 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 15C at KSPS Wichita Falls Municipal Airport / Sheppard Air Force Base in the Cessna Citation CJ4
Landing Score 90.62 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KSPS Wichita Falls Municipal Airport / Sheppard Air Force Base, achieving a score of 90.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 158.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,236 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 1,078 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant distance. The touchdown speed of 102 knots was also higher than the recommended speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to slow down more effectively. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -120 feet per minute (fpm), which suggests that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the descent.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind component was zero.

The total landing distance of 4,985 feet was 50% of the runway length, which is a relatively long distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, while there were some areas for improvement, the pilot demonstrated good control and alignment during the landing.
