Landing on runway 12L at KSTL St. Louis Lambert International Airport in the Cessna 750 Citation X

Landing Score 84.22 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna 750 Citation X approached runway 12L at KSTL from the north-west on a heading of 122.0° at 4 nm and 1,292 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Local weather was 20 °C with a 3 kt wind from 225°, including a 3 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt tailwind component.

At threshold the aircraft encountered a height of 76 ft agl, which was well above the target, and a threshold speed of 129 kt, also well above the target. The flare proceeded from these conditions.

Touchdown occurred 361 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 118 kt, noted as a little fast, and a vertical rate of minus 272 fpm, rated fair. The touchdown point was misaligned by 8.6 m from the centreline.

The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,614 m, representing 59 % of the runway length, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 15.2 m from the centreline.

To refine future landings, aim to achieve the prescribed threshold height and speed to reduce the overshoot beyond the touchdown zone, and adjust the flare to place the touchdown point nearer the aim point while maintaining centreline alignment.
