This flight was conducted in a Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft, which is a high-performance business jet. The flight began with an enroute climb from a starting point located approximately 1 mile northwest of Oxford, Connecticut. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,686 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 4,998 feet, a vertical increase of 3,313 feet, in just 1 minute while covering a horizontal distance of 5 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles east of Seymour, Connecticut. This segment of the flight lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from a cruising altitude of 5,489 feet above sea level to a lower altitude of 2,225 feet, a vertical decrease of 3,264 feet, in 3 minutes while covering a horizontal distance of 10 nautical miles. The descent phase started 4 miles south of Guilford Center, Connecticut.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which began 3 miles west of Peconic, New York. This segment of the flight lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24 at KFOK Francis S Gabreski Airport was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 222.0° and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold at an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24 was conducted with a threshold speed that was excessively high at 121 knots, and the touchdown point was located 420 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was also higher than recommended at 106 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -187 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°.
The total landing distance was 3,217 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown. The total flight distance was 51 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 20 minutes, with no fuel consumption reported.

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KFOK Francis S Gabreski Airport, achieving a score of 94.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northeast, heading 222.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 24, which has a length of 8,987 feet.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 121 knots, indicating that the pilot may have been able to slow down more efficiently before touchdown. The touchdown point was 420 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 106 knots was also faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -187 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach. The total landing distance of 3,217 feet was 36% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of slowing down before touchdown and achieving a more ideal touchdown speed.
