The Cessna Citation X, a high-performance business jet, successfully landed at Melbourne Essendon Airport (YMEN) on runway 26. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 268.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,236 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was well-executed, with a good threshold speed of 128 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was impressive. The touchdown point was 115 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 117 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown rate of -16 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and a moderate wind of 12 knots at 40°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was 8 knots. Despite these wind conditions, the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway during rollout, ensuring a safe and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,685 meters was 88% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. This is a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance capabilities. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot achieving a high score of 91.0%.
