Landing on runway 15 at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 95.39 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport, achieving a score of 95.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 125.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,269 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 15, which has a length of 3,053 meters.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a threshold height slightly above the target at 59 feet agl. The threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 102 knots. The touchdown point was 171 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 90 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -95 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 340°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind component was 4 knots. These conditions contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.

The total landing distance of 1,845 meters was 60% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its direction and speed after touchdown, and the pilot was able to control the aircraft effectively during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in executing the approach and landing. However, there is room for improvement in terms of achieving the target threshold height and speed.
