Landing on runway 32 at KBUF Buffalo Niagara International Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 79.26 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at KBUF Buffalo Niagara International Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 306.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level. The final approach was executed with a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was too high at 125 knots, indicating that the pilot may have been able to slow down more before touchdown.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 401 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 115 knots was also too fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been unable to slow down sufficiently before touching down. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -57 feet per minute, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.

One of the most notable issues with this landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 10.1 meters. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to maintain a straight course during the final approach or may have been affected by crosswinds. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 26.8 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot may have struggled to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 23°C. However, the aircraft's performance was still affected by the pilot's inability to slow down and maintain a straight course during the final approach and rollout phases. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement that the pilot could focus on to enhance their skills and ensure a smoother, more controlled landing in the future.
