The flight in question involved a Cessna CJ4 Citation. As the aircraft prepared for departure, it took 6 minutes to taxi from the parking position to the runway at Nashville International Airport, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then taxied down runway 02R for departure.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 62°F and winds of 2 knots at a direction of 270 degrees. Due to these conditions, a tailwind of 1 knot and a crosswind of 2 knots was experienced.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation then departed down runway 02R, taking off at a speed of 135 knots. The aircraft covered 2,069 feet of runway, which is 26% of the runway length. The takeoff was successful, and the aircraft began its enroute climb shortly after.
The enroute climb phase of the flight started approximately 1 mile northeast of Nashville International Airport and continued for 7 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,543 feet above sea level to 20,010 feet above sea level, a vertical separation of 18,467 feet.

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed on runway 27 at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport. The flight demonstrated a high degree of accuracy and stability throughout the final approach and landing phases. The aircraft maintained a heading of 269.0° as it approached the runway from the east, at an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles away.
Upon reaching the runway threshold, the aircraft's speed was well above the target threshold speed, registering at 106 knots. This suggests that the crew maintained a safe margin between their actual speed and the recommended threshold speed. While the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, at 432 feet, it was still within a safe and manageable distance.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft registered a speed of 96 knots, which is marginally above the recommended touchdown speed. However, the touchdown rate, at -105 feet per minute, was deemed smooth, indicating that the aircraft's speed decay was well-managed during the landing.
The local weather conditions, with temperatures at 59°F and wind velocities at 2 knots from 270°, presented a light headwind of 2 knots, which had a negligible impact on the aircraft's performance. The presence of a crosswind component of 0 knots minimized the risk of lateral instability during the landing roll.
The total landing distance of the Cessna CJ4 Citation was measured as 2,888 feet, accounting for 45% of the available runway length. This falls within acceptable limits, indicating that the aircraft and its crew executed a sound landing roll strategy. The runway rollout alignment was also deemed very good, highlighting the crew's ability to navigate the aircraft safely throughout the landing and rollout phases. Overall, the performance of the Cessna CJ4 Citation demonstrates the aircraft's capabilities and the crew's proficiency in executing a safe and efficient landing.
