Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was too high at 111 kt. at 87 %, Landing and flare profile at 87 %, −0.28 points
Arrival Taxi — landing lights, −0.21 points

Top opportunity

Avoid steep turns at low altitude

Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Landing on runway 31 at KFOE Topeka Regional Airport in the Cessna Citation CJ4
Landing Score 97.26 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KFOE Topeka Regional Airport, achieving a score of 97.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 317.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,253 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 31, which has a length of 12,791 feet.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 396 feet beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have slightly overestimated the distance required to stop. The touchdown speed of 96 kt was also a bit higher than ideal, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. However, the touchdown rate of -55 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a light wind of 2 kt at 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 kt each.

The total landing distance of 3,957 feet was 31% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to align the aircraft with the centerline of the runway.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and judgment during the approach and landing phases. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and runway alignment that could be addressed in future training or practice sessions.
