The flight began with a departure roll from runway 19 at Lugano Airport (LSZA), with the aircraft, a Citation CJ3+ with the registration N60US, taking off in a relatively short distance of 188 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 118 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot from a direction of 5 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb overhead the town of Agno in the Ticino region of Switzerland. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,879 feet above sea level to 1,598 feet above sea level, a gain of 281 feet in just one minute, and covered a distance of less than one nautical mile. This rapid climb was achieved with a high degree of precision and control.
The final approach to runway 01 at Lugano Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 17.0 degrees at an altitude of 664 feet above ground level and a distance of two nautical miles from the runway threshold. The approach was characterized by a gentle wind of 1 knot from a direction of 5 degrees, with no crosswind component and a slight headwind.
The landing itself was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 86 knots and a distance of 156 meters. The touchdown rate was also good, at -180 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 600 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway length.
Following the landing, the aircraft rolled out of the runway in a very good alignment, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight duration was three minutes. The aircraft used a total of 17 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Citation CJ3+ aircraft, registered as N60US, successfully landed at Lugano Airport (LSZA) with an impressive score of 98.7%. The final approach to runway 01 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 17.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 664 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 90 knots. This indicates that the pilot maintained a safe and controlled approach, avoiding any potential issues with excessive speed. The touchdown distance of 156 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and landing.
The touchdown speed of 86 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -180 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the desired range. This suggests that the pilot maintained a smooth and controlled landing, minimizing the impact on the aircraft and the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 5°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance of 600 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and successfully aligned it with the runway centerline. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control of the aircraft.
