Landing Score 98.16 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Citation X, registration C-FWRX, successfully landed at VTSP Phuket International Airport on runway 09. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 84.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,171 feet above ground level. The pilot executed a precise final approach, achieving a threshold speed of 128 knots, which is considered good.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 157 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 116 knots was still within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -112 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.2 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 31°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots from the northwest. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 7 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth touchdown and rollout.

The total landing distance of 1,593 meters was 53% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases.

Overall, the landing of Cessna Citation X, C-FWRX, was a successful operation, with the pilot demonstrating good flying skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The aircraft's winglets likely played a role in reducing drag and improving overall performance during the landing.
