Landing on runway 36R at KMEM Memphis International Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 85.37 %

Landing Summary

A Cessna CJ4 Citation landed at Memphis International Airport, with a score of 85.4%. The aircraft was approaching runway 36R from the south, at a heading of 359.0°, 4 nautical miles away from the runway, and at an altitude of 1,329 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot successfully touched down on the runway, but there were certain issues with the landing procedure.

The threshold height, which is the height at which the aircraft should touch down on the runway, was significantly above target at 82 feet agl. This means that the aircraft landed higher than it should have, which could have been a result of an incorrect approach or a miscalculation of the aircraft's descent rate. Additionally, the threshold speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft should touch down on the runway, was well above target at 111 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been going too fast during the approach, which can increase the risk of a hard landing or a landing outside the designated touchdown zone.

The touchdown point was 1,504 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the planned touchdown point. This could be due to the pilot's decision to extend the landing or an error during the approach. The pilot also touched down at a speed of 103 knots, which is faster than the recommended speed. However, the touchdown rate was good at -199 feet per minute (fpm), which indicates that the aircraft's was able to slow down quickly after touchdown.

The runway alignment during rollout was very good, which suggests that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft after touchdown and align it with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F, a wind speed of 1 knot from the west, and a crosswind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 4,074 feet, which is 45% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown.

Overall, the landing was not perfect, but the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and bring it to a safe stop. However, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of speed and threshold height management.
