Landing on runway 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport in the Cessna 750 Citation X

Landing Score 80.15 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna 750 Citation X, scoring 80.2 % overall, entered the final approach to runway 28R at KSFO from the southeast on a heading of 298.0° while 4 nm out and 1,302 ft AGL; ambient temperature was 21 °C with wind 22 kt from 280°, giving a 7 kt cross-wind component and a 21 kt head-wind.

At the threshold the aircraft was 88 ft AGL, which was significantly above the target height, and the threshold speed was recorded as good at 120 kt.

Touchdown occurred 514 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a good speed of 103 kt and a fair descent rate of minus 210 fpm; the touchdown point was misaligned by 9.7 m from the centreline and the total landing distance measured 1,643 m, representing 47 % of the 3,516 m runway.

During rollout the aircraft remained slightly off the centreline, deviating 11.5 m from centreline.

Refine the approach to achieve the correct threshold height and concentrate on maintaining centreline alignment through touchdown and rollout to reduce the lateral deviations observed.
