The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at the City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (KCOS) with a score of 97.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 315.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 31, which has a length of 7,892 feet.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was above the target at 103 knots. However, the touchdown speed was slightly higher than desired at 97 knots. Despite this, the touchdown rate was excellent at -91 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a light wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind component was also 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance was 3,302 feet, which is 42% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed, which was slightly higher than desired.
