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. The enroute climb started overhead the Black Hollow Heliport (5CO5) in Colorado, where the aircraft climbed from 7,159 feet above sea level to 14,998 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,839 feet in 4 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles west of Ellicott, Colorado, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering 214 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 4 miles north of the Detour Airport (01NE) in Wellfleet, Nebraska, where it descended from 15,006 feet above sea level to 5,036 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,970 feet in 7 minutes and covering 31 nautical miles.
Following the descent, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting 5 miles northeast of the Cozad Municipal Airport (KCZD) in Cozad, Nebraska, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 14 at the Jim Kelly Field (KLXN) was made from the northwest, with a heading of 143.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,279 feet above ground level.

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.
