What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, Threshold height at 88 ft agl was significantly above target at 27 %, −1.82 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 3,128 ft at 0 %, Landing Bounce at 0 %, −1.25 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 55.4 ft left at 50 %, −0.95 points

Next time

Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Keep increasing back pressure smoothly after the sink arrests at 1.1 ft, holding that attitude firmly all the way to touchdown.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 1.1 ft, but 104 fpm of sink came back before touchdown, and sink returning like this usually carries through into a bounce at touchdown.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: steady, continuously decreasing sink held through the flare and into touchdown.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 90.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,210 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 07R, which has a length of 12,362 feet.

The threshold height at 88 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed of 102 knots was well above the target, suggesting that the aircraft was traveling faster than necessary when reaching the threshold. Despite these deviations, the touchdown point was 1,766 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance.

The touchdown speed of 92 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -79 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 16°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 98°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was 2 knots, which likely contributed to the aircraft's slightly fast touchdown speed.

The total landing distance of 4,376 feet was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 55 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's slightly fast touchdown speed or other factors.

Overall, the landing was successful, but with some notable deviations from the ideal parameters. The pilot's skills and experience likely played a significant role in ensuring a safe and controlled landing, despite the challenges posed by the aircraft's speed and altitude at the threshold.
