This flight involved a Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft, which took off from a location 5 miles northeast of the Jackson Hole Airport in Jackson, Wyoming, United States. The aircraft began its enroute climb from an initial altitude of 8,128 feet above sea level, gradually increasing to 7,584 feet above sea level over the course of 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This climb phase marked the beginning of the flight's ascent towards its destination.
As the aircraft approached the Jackson Hole Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 19 from the north, heading in a direction of 200.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was 3 nautical miles away from the runway and at an altitude of 1,161 feet above ground level. The approach was conducted under favorable weather conditions, with a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots blowing from the south.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 19, which has a length of 1,923 meters. The touchdown point was located 390 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the aircraft's speed at touchdown was 86 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard, with a descent rate of -430 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.5 meters.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,649 meters, which accounted for approximately 86% of the runway's length. Unfortunately, the runway rollout alignment was also found to be misaligned from the centerline by 18.6 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the flight was otherwise uneventful, with the aircraft consuming a total of 14 kilograms of fuel over the course of the 5-nautical-mile journey, which took approximately 3 minutes to complete.

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at KJAC Jackson Hole Airport, but with some notable deviations from ideal landing parameters. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 200.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,161 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 97 knots.
However, upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 390 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal touchdown point. The touchdown speed of 86 knots was within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate was hard at -430 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a relatively steep descent. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.5 meters from the centerline, which could have contributed to the deviation from the ideal touchdown point.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 180°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which is a favorable condition for landing. Despite these favorable weather conditions, the pilot still managed to deviate from the ideal landing parameters.
The total landing distance of 1,649 meters was 86% of the available runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This suggests that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop, but the pilot could have benefited from a more precise touchdown point to minimize the landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 18.6 meters from the centerline, which could have contributed to the overall deviation from the ideal landing parameters.
Overall, while the Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at KJAC Jackson Hole Airport, the landing was not without its challenges. The pilot could have benefited from a more precise approach and touchdown, as well as a more aligned runway rollout to minimize the landing distance and ensure a safe stop.
