The Cessna Citation X, registration C-FWRX, successfully landed at YPDN Darwin International Airport / RAAF Darwin on runway 29. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 289.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level. The pilot executed a precise final approach, resulting in a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 129 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 282 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 114 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -109 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots at 10°.
