Landing on runway 18C at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 93.78 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT) on runway 18C, achieving a score of 93.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 176.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 113 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 101 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -73 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent.

Despite the successful landing, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown point was 418 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to flare the aircraft slightly late. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 29 feet from the centreline, which could have been caused by a slight deviation in the pilot's approach path.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 50°F and winds of 8 knots at 230°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. The total landing distance of 2,967 feet was 30% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 29 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to brake the aircraft slightly late or unevenly. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were a few areas for improvement that the pilot could work on to refine their skills.
