The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 17R at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (KDFW). The takeoff distance was 1,892 feet, which accounted for 14% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots. After departing from KDFW, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and reached an altitude of 27,008 feet above sea level (asl) in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,595 feet asl to a final altitude of 27,008 feet asl, an increase of 25,413 feet.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south of the Grant Ranch Airport (TT21) in Alvord, Texas, and lasted for 58 minutes, covering a distance of 403 nautical miles. Following the cruise, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 9 miles south of the Melon Field Airport (1CO5) in Rocky Ford, Colorado. The descent was from an altitude of 26,995 feet asl to 7,431 feet asl, a decrease of 19,564 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at the City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (K COS) was made from the southeast, heading 315.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on runway 31, which had a length of 7,892 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 120 knots. The touchdown point was 698 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 100 knots, which was fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -112 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 3,672 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft took 1 minute to taxi to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 518 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 89 minutes. The aircraft used 2,907 pounds of fuel during the flight.

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at the City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (KCOS) with a score of 93.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 315.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 31, which has a length of 7,892 feet.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 698 feet beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have slightly over-extended the landing. The threshold speed was excessively high at 120 knots, which is above the recommended speed for a safe landing. However, the touchdown speed of 100 knots was also fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been trying to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing.
Despite the high touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was smooth at -112 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot was able to align the aircraft with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, which is relatively light and should not have affected the landing.
The total landing distance was 3,672 feet, which is 47% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not excessively long. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement. The pilot should aim to reduce the threshold speed and touchdown speed to more acceptable levels, and work on maintaining a more precise touchdown point.
