This flight was conducted in a Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft, which began its enroute climb from a location 4 miles northwest of Cold Springs, Nevada, United States. The aircraft started its ascent from an altitude of 8,517 feet above sea level and successfully climbed to 6,674 feet above sea level, a gain of 1,844 feet in just 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 08 at KRTS Reno/Stead from the west, heading in a direction of 100.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,631 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target speed of 109 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown distance was good at 365 meters, but its touchdown speed of 99 knots was slightly faster than ideal. However, the touchdown rate of -167 feet per minute was good, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 49 degrees. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 734 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway length. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centerline, the overall landing was considered successful. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes, during which the aircraft consumed 11 kilograms of fuel.

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KRTS Reno/Stead airport, achieving a score of 93.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 100.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,631 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The touchdown distance of 365 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed of 99 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a slightly higher rate of descent.
The aircraft's rate of descent was -167 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered good. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent, avoiding any excessive deceleration or hard landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain a consistent and accurate approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -5°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 49°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were sufficient to overcome them.
The total landing distance of 734 meters was 33% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional stability during the landing phase. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the aircraft and the pilot was satisfactory, and the landing was considered successful.
