Landing on runway 31 at KCOS City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 95.46 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at the City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (KCOS) on runway 31. The aircraft scored a high 95.5% on its landing, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing technique.

The final approach to runway 31 was initiated from the southeast, heading 315.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe altitude above the runway threshold.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 118 knots. This suggests that the pilot may have been slightly aggressive in their approach, but still managed to maintain control of the aircraft. The touchdown distance of 569 feet was within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.

However, the touchdown speed of 114 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. The touchdown rate of -47 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the pilot had a good sense of the aircraft's descent rate and was able to control it effectively.

One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 25 feet from the centreline. This may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance and could have been avoided with a more precise approach. Similarly, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 25 feet from the centreline, which may have contributed to the aircraft's slightly longer rollout distance.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were both minimal, at 1 knot each, which made the landing conditions relatively straightforward.

Overall, the Cessna CJ4 Citation's landing at KCOS was a success, with a high score of 95.5%. While there were some areas for improvement, the pilot demonstrated a high level of proficiency in their approach and landing technique, and the aircraft performed well in the given conditions.
