Landing on runway 09 at KSAN San Diego International Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 61.58 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft has successfully landed at San Diego International Airport (KSAN) on runway 09. However, the landing was not without its challenges, as indicated by the score of 61.6%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 106.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,463 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 278 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the target. The touchdown speed of 94 knots was slightly above the target, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to fully arrest the aircraft's descent. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -502 feet per minute (fpm) was extremely hard, suggesting that the pilot may have been unable to control the aircraft's rate of descent effectively.

The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centerline, which could have contributed to the difficulties experienced during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 310°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 7 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,208 meters was 58% of the available runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to fully utilize the available runway length, potentially due to the hard touchdown and subsequent rollout issues. The runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 50.2 meters from the centerline, which could have contributed to the difficulties experienced during the landing.

Overall, while the Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft was able to land safely at San Diego International Airport, the landing was not without its challenges. The pilot may have benefited from additional training or practice to improve their skills and ability to control the aircraft during landing.
