Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The aircraft then began its enroute descent 4 miles south of 85TN Tellico Plains Muni Madisonville, Tennessee, descending from 15,582 feet above sea level to 4,087 feet above sea level. This decrease of 11,495 feet was achieved in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 43 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 1 mile east of Mowbray Mountain, Tennessee, and lasting for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.

The final descent phase began 1 mile east of Middle Valley, Tennessee, with the aircraft descending from 3,582 feet above sea level to 1,961 feet above sea level. This decrease of 1,621 feet was achieved in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 20 at KCHA Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field), approaching from the north at a heading of 197.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 20 was notable for several factors. The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was 115 knots, which was too fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -490 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 42 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 69 degrees Fahrenheit.

The total landing distance was 4,746 feet, which accounted for 64% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 224 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 49 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft has successfully landed at KCHA Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field), but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach to runway 20 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 197.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was excessively far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway length. This indicates that the aircraft may have been too high or too fast during the approach, resulting in a longer than necessary landing distance. The touchdown speed of 115 knots was also too fast, which can contribute to a harder touchdown and increased wear on the aircraft's landing gear.

The touchdown rate of -490 feet per minute (fpm) was also hard, which can be uncomfortable for passengers and may indicate that the aircraft was not properly configured for landing. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 42 feet from the centerline, which can be a concern for safety and may require additional attention during future landings.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 69°F. However, the excessive touchdown height and speed, combined with the hard touchdown rate and misaligned touchdown position, suggest that the pilot may have encountered some challenges during the approach.

The total landing distance of 4,746 feet was 64% of the available runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This indicates that the aircraft may have been too high or too fast during the approach, resulting in a longer than necessary landing distance. Fortunately, the runway rollout alignment was very good, which suggests 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 several areas for improvement that the pilot and crew should focus on to ensure a smoother and more efficient landing in the future.
