Departure Climb 2

A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 17R at the City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (KCOS). The takeoff distance was 1,163 feet, which accounted for 11% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 140 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots.

Landing on runway 14 at KLXN Jim Kelly Field in the Cessna Citation CJ4
Landing Score 99.77 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KLXN Jim Kelly Field, achieving a score of 99.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 143.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,279 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 slightly above the target speed of 95 kt, indicating a slight over-speed. However, the touchdown distance of 619 feet was within acceptable limits, demonstrating good control and precision. The touchdown speed of 89 kt was a little fast, but the smooth touchdown rate of -142 feet per minute (fpm) suggests that the pilot managed to absorb the impact effectively.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach and landing technique. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a light wind of 2 kt at 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 2 kt and 1 kt, respectively, which further contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control. However, there are some areas for improvement, such as maintaining a more accurate threshold speed and touchdown position.
