The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 35L at the City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (KCOS). The takeoff distance was 2,455 feet, which accounted for 22% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 137 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of Cimarron Hills, Colorado, and the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 7,196 feet above sea level to 25,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,813 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 14 miles south of the Terra Firma Airport (08CO) in Rush, Colorado. This phase lasted for 56 minutes, covering a distance of 392 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 2 miles north of the Mathews Airport (66XA) in Henrietta, Texas, and descended from an altitude of 25,005 feet above sea level to 3,506 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,499 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southeast of the Dooley Airport (0TS1) in Justin, Texas. This phase lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 13R at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (KDFW) was made from the northwest, heading 139.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 13R was made with a runway length of 9,316 feet. Although the threshold height was good, the threshold speed was too high at 117 knots. The touchdown point was 1,098 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 103 knots, which was fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -192 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 3,954 feet, which accounted for 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 516 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 88 minutes. The aircraft used 2,907 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, heading 139.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,292 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 13R, which has a length of 9,316 feet.

Upon review of the landing, it was noted that the threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 117 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. The touchdown point was 1,098 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilot may have been able to make a more precise touchdown. The touchdown speed of 103 knots was also faster than ideal, which may have contributed to the touchdown point being beyond the touchdown zone.

The touchdown rate of -192 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the pilot was able to control the descent of the aircraft effectively. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a miscalculation of the touchdown point.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 62°F and a wind of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 2 and 1 knots respectively, which suggests that the pilot did not have to contend with significant wind shear during the approach.

The total landing distance of 3,954 feet was 42% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed, and making a more precise touchdown.
