The flight began with the aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, LFMN. This process took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 04L, with a takeoff distance of 420 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 116 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and wind blowing at 16 knots from a direction of 80 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,065 feet above sea level to 4,039 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,974 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The enroute climb started over the Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, and the aircraft continued to climb until it reached its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise began 2 miles southwest of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, and it lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 2 miles south of Cannes, and it descended from 3,750 feet above sea level to 1,372 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,378 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 04L at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 43.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,355 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 2,561 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 96 knots.

The touchdown point was 204 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 85 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -22 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions during landing were the same as during takeoff, with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and wind blowing at 16 knots from a direction of 80 degrees.

The total landing distance was 1,033 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 32 nautical miles, and the flight took 19 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 106 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The pilot executed a precise final approach, ensuring a good threshold height and speed of 96 kt upon touchdown.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 204 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 85 kt, which is considered good. The touchdown rate of -22 feet per minute (fpm) was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach technique.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and wind speeds of 16 kt at 80°. The crosswind component was 9 kt, while the headwind component was 13 kt. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the pilot was able to maintain control and execute a smooth touchdown.

The total landing distance of 1,033 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control and direction of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
