Departing from the island of Bora Bora, the Cessna CJ4 Citation initiated its enroute climb phase, ascending from an initial altitude of 2,996 feet above sea level to 1,091 feet asl. This climb of 1,904 feet in just 3 minutes was achieved while covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft's performance during this phase demonstrated its ability to efficiently gain altitude in a relatively short period.
As the aircraft approached the final approach phase, it began its descent from an altitude of 1,043 feet above ground level (agl) while heading 304.0° from the southeast. The pilot's control of the aircraft's descent and alignment with runway 29 at NTTB Bora Bora Airport was precise, with a touchdown distance of 748 feet and a speed of 98 kt. However, the touchdown rate was slightly higher than desired at -440 fpm. The aircraft's alignment with the runway during touchdown was excellent, and the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a light wind of 3 kt from 269°, contributed to a smooth landing.
The aircraft's performance during the landing phase was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 2,068 feet, which accounted for 42% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's deceleration and maintaining alignment with the runway. The total flight distance of 8 nautical miles was achieved in 4 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 34 pounds of fuel during the flight.
