Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 18 at Colonel James Jabara Airport (KAAO) in Wichita, Kansas. The takeoff distance was 2,384 feet, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 128 knots.

As the aircraft climbed out of KAAO, it encountered local weather conditions of 89°F temperature and winds of 4 knots at 59°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the tailwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead KAAO and continued for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 37 nautical miles and increasing the altitude from 2,509 feet above sea level to 23,846 feet above sea level, a total increase of 21,337 feet.

The enroute level cruise began 14 miles north of Foster Field (SN58) in El Dorado, Kansas, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles. The descent started 2 miles southwest of Tevis Airport (17KS) in Melvern, Kansas, and continued for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 63 nautical miles and decreasing the altitude from 23,828 feet above sea level to 1,458 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 22,370 feet.

The final approach to runway 01 at Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport (KMKC) was made from the south, heading 20.0° at 3 nautical miles and 696 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 01, which had a length of 6,233 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 105 knots.

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at the Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport (KMKC) on runway 01. 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.
