The flight in the Cessna CJ4 Citation began with an en-route climb starting 2 miles northeast of Poonamalle in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. The aircraft climbed from 9,621 feet above sea level to 18,356 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,735 feet in 4 minutes covering 22 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft flew level for 37 minutes, covering 197 nautical miles. The en-route descent started 26 miles north of Srisailain in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. The aircraft descended from 18,560 feet above sea level to 11,523 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,037 feet in 7 minutes covering 35 nautical miles.
Following the descent, the aircraft had a brief level cruise before starting its descent towards VOHS Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The descent from 11,504 feet above sea level to 3,677 feet above sea level was completed in 9 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27L at VOHS Rajiv Gandhi International Airport was from the east, with a heading of 269.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,653 feet above ground level. The approach and landing were conducted smoothly, with the touchdown point slightly beyond the designated zone, but the touchdown speed and rate were within acceptable limits.
After touchdown, the aircraft utilized 70% of the runway for landing, with a slightly misaligned rollout alignment by 13.2 meters from the centerline. The aircraft exited the runway at an average speed of 23 knots and taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 13 minutes.

Overall, the aircraft landing score of 81.0% indicates that there were several areas where improvement is needed in order to achieve a smoother and safer landing.
During the Approach Phase, the descent path being above the glideslope limit indicates that the altitude of the aircraft was too high in relation to the desired approach angle. Additionally, the threshold speed being well above the target can lead to difficulties in braking and slowing down the aircraft upon landing. These factors may have contributed to a less than ideal approach to the runway.
In the Landing Phase, the threshold height being well above the target suggests that the aircraft was descending too quickly, potentially leading to a harder landing. The very poor landing flare indicates that there was inadequacy in transitioning from a descending approach to a level touchdown position, which can result in a rough touchdown.
During the Touchdown Phase, while the touchdown rate was smooth at -149 ft/m, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 103 kn. This faster speed can make it more challenging to bring the aircraft to a stop on the runway. The touchdown point being significantly beyond the touchdown zone and slightly misaligned from the centerline further highlights the need for improved precision and accuracy during the landing phase.
To improve the landing score, focus should be placed on maintaining the correct descent path and speed during the approach, executing a proper landing flare to ensure a smoother touchdown, and ensuring that the touchdown speed and point are within the designated parameters. Practice and attention to detail are key to achieving a more successful and safe landing in the future.
