Landing on runway 35R at KSMF Sacramento International Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 76.95 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed on runway 35R at KSMF Sacramento International Airport, but the landing was not without some issues. The aircraft scored 77.0% on its landing, indicating that there were some areas for improvement. The final approach to the runway was from the south, heading 1.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,030 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 92 kt, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown distance of 1,040 ft was good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing. The threshold height at 111 ft agl was excessively over target, suggesting that the pilot may have been a bit high on the approach.

The threshold speed was good at 94 kt, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable approach speed. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 35 ft from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a wind of 11 kt at 330°.

The crosswind was relatively light at 5 kt, and the headwind was 9 kt, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment during the landing. The total landing distance was 2,061 ft, which was 24% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 33 ft from the centreline, indicating that the pilot may have had some difficulty in maintaining a straight alignment during the rollout.

Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot demonstrated good control over the aircraft during the approach and landing. However, there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a stable approach speed and aligning the aircraft with the centreline during the landing and rollout.
