Landing on runway 17R at KCOS City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 93.52 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at the City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (KCOS) on runway 17R. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,299 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft scored 93.5% in its landing performance.

Upon landing, the threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft touched down at a suitable height above the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was too high at 116 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further before touchdown. The touchdown point was 250 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been due to the high threshold speed.

The touchdown speed of 111 knots was also reported as too fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further before touchdown. The touchdown rate of -335 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft touched down with a relatively high rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind component. The total landing distance of 3,062 feet was 28% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned path during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance of the Cessna CJ4 Citation was satisfactory, with some areas for improvement in terms of threshold speed and touchdown speed.
