Landing on runway 33L at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 75.01 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed on runway 33L at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, but with some notable areas for improvement. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southeast, heading 316.0° at 4 nautical miles and 624 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was too high at 113 knots, indicating that the pilot may have been able to slow down more efficiently before touchdown.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 726 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant distance. The touchdown speed of 101 knots was also faster 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 -162 feet per minute was good, indicating that the pilot was able to control the descent of the aircraft effectively.

One of the most notable issues with the landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 16.7 meters off-centerline. This suggests that the pilot may have been struggling to maintain a straight course during the final approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 27.7 meters from centerline, which could have contributed to the overall misalignment of the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 29 knots from 310°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, but the headwind component was significant at 28 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing, but there is room for improvement in terms of precision and control.
