The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,216 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 172 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 22 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) in New York, United States. The takeoff distance was 311 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 106 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 23 knots at 249 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 18 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,052 feet above sea level to 38,255 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,203 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 63 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead Jackson Heights, New York, and continued until the aircraft reached its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise started 4 miles west of Conashaugh Lakes, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles north of Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania, and descended from 38,214 feet above sea level to 37,063 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,151 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started again 4 miles northeast of Laceyville, Pennsylvania, and the aircraft climbed from 36,854 feet above sea level to 38,300 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,447 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south of Towanda Airport, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles south of Campbell, New York, and descended from 38,192 feet above sea level to 2,177 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,015 feet, in 32 minutes and covering a distance of 117 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 11 miles southeast of Guildwood, Ontario, Canada, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport (CYTZ) was made from the east, heading 254.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,688 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 92 knots and a touchdown distance of 172 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -212 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 536 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 307 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 88 minutes. The aircraft used 788 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at CYTZ Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 254.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,688 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of -10°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 300°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 26, which has a length of 1,216 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 98 knots. The touchdown distance of 172 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 92 knots was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -212 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, including a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 5 knots, did not appear to have significantly impacted the landing. The total landing distance of 536 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was slightly off by 11.1 meters. This misalignment could have been due to a variety of factors, including the pilot's judgment or the aircraft's response to the landing. Despite this, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely, demonstrating good control and handling skills.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot achieving a high score of 96.0%. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the pilot demonstrated good judgment and control throughout the landing.
