The flight began with a departure roll from runway 17R at the City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport, KCOS. The Cessna CJ4 Citation took off with a takeoff distance of 2,086 feet, which was 19% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 141 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead the Black Hollow Heliport, 5CO5, in Colorado. The climb began at an altitude of 7,121 feet above sea level and continued to 25,011 feet, an increase of 17,890 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles south east of the Terra Firma Airport, 08CO, in Colorado, and lasted for 46 minutes, covering a distance of 327 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 24,987 feet above sea level to 3,038 feet, a decrease of 21,949 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 68 nautical miles.
The descent continued, and the aircraft started its final level cruise 3 miles north east of Overbrook, Kansas, lasting for just 3 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 31 at the Topeka Regional Airport, KFOE, was made from the south east, heading 317.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,256 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 31 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,480 feet, which was good, but the touchdown speed of 110 knots was too fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -264 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°.
The total landing distance was 2,916 feet, which was 23% of the runway length.

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at KFOE Topeka Regional Airport, achieving a score of 94.5%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 317.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,256 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 31, which has a length of 12,791 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 121 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to make adjustments to reduce the speed before touchdown. The touchdown distance was good at 1,480 feet, which is a reasonable distance considering the runway length. However, the touchdown speed of 110 knots was too fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the speed.
The touchdown rate was fair at -264 feet per minute (fpm), which is a moderate rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each. These conditions would have made the landing relatively straightforward.
The total landing distance was 2,916 feet, which is 23% of the runway length. This is a reasonable distance, considering the aircraft's weight and the runway conditions. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, such as reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed. The pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase was commendable, and the favorable weather conditions contributed to a smooth landing.
