Landing on runway 19L at KMCI Kansas City International Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 80.94 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at Kansas City International Airport (KMCI) on runway 19L, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft scored an 80.9% on its landing, indicating that while it met some of the criteria, there were areas for improvement.

The final approach to the runway was initiated from the north, heading 192.0° at 4 nautical miles and 251 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on the 2,902-meter runway, which is a significant length, but the threshold height was reported as good. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 126 knots, which is above the recommended speed for a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 133 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 118 knots was also too fast, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown. On the positive side, the touchdown rate was excellent at -85 feet per minute (fpm), which suggests that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline, which is a significant deviation. This misalignment may have been due to the crosswind or headwind conditions, which were reported as 5 knots and 6 knots, respectively. The local weather conditions were also taken into account, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind direction of 150°.

The total landing distance was 1,303 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, but it may have been due to the aircraft's high speed at touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 32.1 meters from the centerline, which suggests that the pilot may have had difficulty controlling the aircraft's direction during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft was able to land safely at Kansas City International Airport, there were several areas for improvement. The pilot should focus on reducing the threshold speed, slowing down the aircraft before touchdown, and improving the runway touchdown position and rollout alignment.
