Landing on runway 17R at KDEN Denver International Airport in the Cessna 750 Citation X

Landing Score 88.56 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna 750 Citation X made a final approach to runway 17R at KDEN from the north, tracking a heading of 179.0° at 4 nm and 1,559 ft agl, with a temperature of 36 °C, a head-wind of 21 kt from 180°, and no cross-wind component.

At the threshold the aircraft was 73 ft agl, which was well above the target height, while the threshold speed of 121 kt was recorded as good.

Touchdown occurred 443 m beyond the designated touchdown zone; the aircraft was aligned perfectly with the runway centreline, the touchdown speed was 107 kt and the rate of descent was firm at minus 333 fpm.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,800 m, representing 49 % of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment remained perfect.

To bring the touchdown point within the intended zone, the approach should be refined to achieve the target threshold height and to aim for the standard aim point approximately 300 m (1,000 ft) down the runway, ensuring a stabilized flare. Adjusting the descent profile will also help moderate the firm touchdown rate while preserving the good speed and alignment already demonstrated.
