Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 23 at VCRI Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport in Sri Lanka. The takeoff distance was 609 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 118 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 6 knots at 240 degrees, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 6-knot headwind.

As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 58 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,227 feet above sea level to 38,561 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,335 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 16 miles south-west of VCCG Ampara Airport in Sri Lanka and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 79 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 12 miles east of Mihintale in Sri Lanka, climbing from 38,564 feet above sea level to 40,536 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,972 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 10 miles north of Vavuniya in Sri Lanka and lasted for 58 minutes, covering a distance of 417 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 44 miles south of Narasapur in India. The descent from 40,442 feet above sea level to 2,492 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,951 feet, took 27 minutes, covering a distance of 143 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute level cruise, this time from 9 miles east of Yarada in India, lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 28 at VOVZ Vishakhapatnam in India was made from the east, heading 275.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,262 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 28 was successful, with the touchdown point being 56 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly below the target at 101 knots, but the touchdown speed at 91 knots was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -85 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 3 knots at 69 degrees, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 3-knot tailwind.

The total landing distance was 1,835 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 746 nautical miles, taking 131 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,204 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 28 at VOVZ Vishakhapatnam in the Cessna Citation CJ4
Landing Score 96.05 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at VOVZ Vishakhapatnam, achieving a score of 96.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 275.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway 28 at VOVZ Vishakhapatnam, which has a length of 2,744 meters.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 101 knots. The touchdown point was 56 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 91 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -85 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 69°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 3 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 1,835 meters was 67% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.

However, there was a slight misalignment during the runway rollout, with the aircraft deviating from the centerline by 10.8 meters. This minor deviation may be attributed to the pilot's efforts to maintain control and stability during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
