Departure
Arrival
This flight involved a Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft, which took off from a location 5 miles east of Rishiri Airport in Hokkaido, Japan. The aircraft began its enroute climb from an initial altitude of 4,150 feet above sea level, aiming to reach a height of 995 feet. Within a span of 2 minutes, the aircraft successfully increased its altitude by 3,155 feet, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the final approach to runway 25 at Rishiri Airport, it was heading in a northeasterly direction at an altitude of 865 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady heading of 237.0 degrees during this phase of the flight.
Upon landing on runway 25, which has a length of 1,782 meters, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 106 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown distance was 416 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was hard, with a descent rate of -436 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.6 meters.
The local weather conditions during the flight were characterized by a temperature of -5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 792 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway length. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 10.7 meters.
In terms of the overall flight performance, the Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft covered a total distance of 6 nautical miles within a span of 3 minutes, consuming 9 kilograms of fuel in the process.

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at RJER Rishiri Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 237.0° at 2 nautical miles and 865 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 25, which has a length of 1,782 meters.
The threshold height at 76 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 111 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before reaching the threshold. However, the touchdown distance of 416 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control and slow the aircraft down effectively.
Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 106 knots was still too fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -436 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to absorb the impact of the landing effectively, potentially putting the aircraft and its occupants at risk. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -5°C and a wind of 3 knots at 270°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's speed and alignment issues during the landing.
The total landing distance of 792 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position being off-center.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there are several areas for improvement, including reducing the threshold speed, slowing down the aircraft before touchdown, and improving the touchdown rate and alignment.
