Next time

Departure

Add power to maintain the target climb speed as you continue the climb.

What happened: Climb speed fell well below the target during the climb out, sagging during the initial climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: the target climb speed

See Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final so threshold speed settles at 92 kt instead of carrying it into the flare.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 127 kt, well above the 92 kt target speed, and that excess speed was still showing at touchdown. Crossing the threshold fast usually carries straight through to a fast touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 92 kt on short final.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 33 at MSSS Ilopango International Airport. The Cessna CJ4 Citation took off with a takeoff distance of 1,340 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 2,463 feet above sea level (asl) to 3,261 ft asl, an increase of 798 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The climb was initiated overhead Soyapango, Departamento de San Salvador, El Salvador. Following the climb, the aircraft began its enroute descent from 3,223 ft asl to 2,583 ft asl, a decrease of 640 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. This descent started 1 mile south east of Ilopango, Departamento de San Salvador, El Salvador.

The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. This cruise phase began 2 miles west of San Pedro Masahuat, Departamento de La Paz, El Salvador. The aircraft then initiated another climb from 2,401 ft asl to 1,970 ft asl, an increase of 431 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. This climb started 1 mile east of MSLP Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport San Salvador, Departamento de La Paz, El Salvador.

The final approach to runway 25 at MSLP Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 253.0° at 1 nautical mile and 1,621 feet above ground level (agl). However, the aircraft performed a go-around at 39 feet agl, indicating that the approach was not successful. The aircraft then landed on runway 25, which had a length of 3,198 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 127 knots.

The touchdown point was 74 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 116 knots, which was too fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -256 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 202.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 2,975 meters, which was 93% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 203.8 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 52 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 12 minutes. The aircraft used 141 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft has successfully landed at MSLP Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach to runway 25 was initiated from the north east, heading 253.0° at 1 nm and 1,621 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and several areas for improvement were identified.

One of the primary concerns was the threshold height, which was significantly above the target height at 80 ft agl. This indicates that the aircraft may have been too high during the approach, potentially leading to a longer landing distance. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 327 kt, which is a critical factor in determining the safety and efficiency of the landing.

Upon further evaluation, it was noted that the touchdown point was 74 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 116 kt, which is considered too fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -256 fpm, but this is not ideal, as a more controlled descent would be preferable. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 202.2 m from the centreline, which could have contributed to the aircraft's high speed and distance from the touchdown zone.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt at 270°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was minimal at 1 kt. Despite these favorable conditions, the aircraft's performance during the landing was not optimal.

The total landing distance was 2,975 m, which is 93% of the runway length. This is a significant portion of the runway, indicating that the aircraft may have been too high or too fast during the approach. The runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 203.8 m from the centreline, which could have contributed to the aircraft's high speed and distance from the touchdown zone.

Overall, while the Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at MSLP Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport, there are several areas for improvement to ensure a safer and more efficient landing. These issues should be addressed to optimize the aircraft's performance and reduce the risk of accidents.
