The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 20.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 696 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 105 knots, significantly above the target speed. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and was able to maintain a stable approach. The touchdown distance of 602 feet was also within acceptable limits, suggesting that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to execute a smooth landing.
However, the touchdown speed of 102 knots was slightly faster than expected, which may have contributed to a harder-than-expected touchdown rate of -572 feet per minute (fpm). A harder touchdown rate can be a concern, as it may put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially lead to a bumpy ride for passengers.
Despite the slightly faster touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable approach and was able to align the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 84°F and a wind speed of 7 knots at 90°, were relatively calm, which likely contributed to the successful landing.
The total landing distance of 1,796 feet was 29% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 93 feet from the centerline, which may indicate that the pilot had some difficulty maintaining control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. This could be due to a variety of factors, including the aircraft's speed, the pilot's experience, or the runway's surface conditions.
Overall, the Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft's landing at KMKC was successful, with a good threshold height, a stable approach, and a smooth touchdown. However, the slightly faster touchdown speed and harder-than-expected touchdown rate may warrant further attention from the pilot to ensure that future landings are executed with optimal control and precision.
