The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KCRW Yeager Airport, achieving a score of 95.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 47.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,313 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 5,714 feet and its orientation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was notably higher than the target speed, reaching 104 knots. This slight deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The touchdown distance of 1,450 feet was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent.
However, the touchdown speed of 93 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -322 feet per minute (fpm). This rate is considered firm, indicating that the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway with a moderate amount of force. Despite this, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 15 feet from the centerline, showcasing the pilot's skill in maintaining control during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 2 knots each, which further contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 2,556 feet was 45% of the runway's length, indicating that the pilot effectively managed the aircraft's deceleration during the rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, earning the Cessna CJ4 Citation a high score of 95.4%.
