Landing on runway 04R at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 80.34 %

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 04R at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport from the south west was initiated at 4 nm and 1,724 ft above ground level, heading 43.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 86 ft above ground level, significantly above the target. This resulted in a slightly higher than ideal approach path angle, which may have contributed to the subsequent touchdown characteristics.

The aircraft touched down 489 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 95 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -219 fpm was fair, indicating a reasonable deceleration. However, the threshold speed of 113 kt was too high, suggesting that the pilot may have been unable to fully utilize the available runway length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor control issue during the final stages of the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,202 m was 41% of the available runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 80.3%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
