Landing on runway 02 at KCHA Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field) in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 98.29 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KCHA Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field) with a score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 17.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 7,404 feet and its orientation.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was above the target at 105 knots. This indicates that the pilot maintained a safe margin of speed during the landing, which is essential for a smooth and controlled touchdown. The touchdown distance of 1,550 feet was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed.

However, the touchdown speed of 96 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -240 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was negligible at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable landing.

The total landing distance of 2,637 feet was 36% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and touchdown phases. The score of 98.3% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot during this landing.
