The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KFOE Topeka Regional Airport, achieving a score of 94.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 137.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 12,791 feet and its orientation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was notably higher than the target speed, reaching 106 knots. This slight deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The touchdown distance of 1,026 feet was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent.
However, the touchdown speed of 98 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -333 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown position was only 26 feet off-centerline, indicating a relatively good alignment with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 94°F, which may have affected the aircraft's performance. Nevertheless, the pilot successfully managed the landing, and the total landing distance of 2,333 feet was only 18% of the runway's length. This indicates a relatively short landing distance, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's capabilities.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment with the runway was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, resulting in a high score of 94.9%.
