The flight in question commenced with the departure roll from runway 13 at LEMG Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport. The aircraft, a Citation CJ3+ with the registration N60US, accelerated down the 3,203-meter runway, reaching liftoff speed of 106 knots within 310 meters, which is 10% of the runway. This initial takeoff was made against a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a 10-knot headwind from a direction of 130 degrees.

As the aircraft cleared the airport and entered the local airspace, it initiated an enroute climb, ascending from 1,040 feet to 3,106 feet within 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. During this phase of the flight, the aircraft traversed from the airport level to a cruising altitude, eventually leveling off 2 miles northeast of Benalmadena in Andalusia, Spain.

The enroute level cruise lasted for 5 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. Subsequently, the aircraft entered an enroute descent phase, starting over Pizarra in Andalusia. This descent brought the altitude from 3,122 feet to 1,386 feet within a period of 3 minutes and over a distance of 7 nautical miles.

The aircraft then transitioned to the final approach phase, heading towards runway 13 at LEMG Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport from the north-west, maintaining an altitude of 1,338 feet above the ground and being 4 nautical miles away from the runway. The threshold speed was satisfactory at 107 knots, and the touchdown point, which was 92 meters beyond the touchdown zone, occurred at a speed of 96 knots and a smooth rate of -149 feet per minute.

Upon touchdown, the runway touchdown position was found to be misaligned by 8 meters from the centreline. Following a total landing distance of 1,273 meters, which equates to 40% of the runway length, the aircraft experienced a slight misalignment of 10.5 meters from the centreline during the runway rollout. The landing was made under the same weather conditions as before, with a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a 10-knot headwind.

Lastly, the flight covered a total distance of 27 nautical miles, using 98 kilograms of fuel and took a total time of 12 minutes, bringing the flight to a successful conclusion.

Landing on runway 13 at LEMG Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport in the Citation CJ3+ N60US

Landing Score 94.48 %

Landing Summary

The Citation CJ3+ aircraft, registered as N60US, successfully landed at LEMG Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport in Spain, achieving a high score of 94.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north west, with a heading of 122.0° and was 4 nautical miles away at a height of 1,338 feet above ground level. As it descended onto the runway, it demonstrated good piloting skills, achieving a smooth touchdown at a speed of 96 knots.

The pilot's control of the aircraft during the final approach and touchdown was praised, with the threshold height and speed being within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was just 92 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating good control and precision by the pilot. A satisfactory touchdown rate of -149 feet per minute further emphasizes the pilot's skills.

However, during the landing, there were a couple of minor inaccuracies that were noted. The runway touchdown position was off-centerline by 8.0 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centerline. Despite these small deviations, the pilot maintained the aircraft's control throughout the landing process.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29°C and a headwind of 10 knots with a wind direction of 130°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 0 knots, which contributed to the smooth execution of the landing. The aircraft's landing distance was 40% of the runway length, with a total distance of 1,273 meters covered before the pilot brought it to a complete stop.
