Departing from Entebbe International Airport, the Cessna CJ4 Citation initiated its enroute climb approximately 6 miles northwest of the airport, transitioning from an initial altitude of 6,576 feet above sea level to 4,912 feet above sea level in under a minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid ascent showcased the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities, with a notable increase of 1,664 feet in altitude.
As the aircraft approached the final approach phase, it aligned itself with runway 17 from the north, maintaining a heading of 173.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,071 feet above ground level. However, a go-around procedure was initiated at an altitude of 876 feet above ground level, necessitating the aircraft to re-establish its approach. Upon re-attempting the landing, the aircraft touched down on the 12,072-foot runway, with a threshold height that was deemed satisfactory. The touchdown speed of 95 knots was slightly above the target, while the touchdown distance of 732 feet was within acceptable parameters.
The landing distance of 2,200 feet accounted for approximately 18% of the available runway length, with the runway touchdown position being misaligned by 25 feet from the centreline. The aircraft's rollout alignment was also slightly off-centre, deviating by 41 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 100 degrees, contributed to a relatively calm environment. The flight itself covered a total distance of 5 nautical miles, consuming 14 pounds of fuel in the process, with a flight time of 2 minutes.

The Cessna CJ4 Citation touched down on runway 17 at HUEN Entebbe International Airport, a 12,072-foot-long asphalt surface. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was above the target, reaching 100 kt, which may have contributed to the subsequent touchdown characteristics. The touchdown distance of 732 feet was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown speed of 95 kt was slightly faster than desired.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a hard rate of descent, reaching -600 fpm. This was likely due to the excessive threshold speed. The runway touchdown position was 25 feet off-centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a 4-knot headwind, did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 2,200 feet was 18% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centreline, deviating by 41 feet from the centreline. This minor deviation may have been a result of the initial touchdown position. Overall, the landing performance scored 88.6%, indicating a satisfactory but not exceptional execution. The crew's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and rate of descent will be crucial in improving the landing performance in future approaches.
