What went well

Touched down at -145 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 3.50 m off the centreline, no bounce
1.17 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; speed limits at 10 %, −6.02 points
Enroute Climb — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; speed limits at 66 %, bank angle up to 50.6 ° at 79 %, −3.89 points
Departure Climb 1 — speed limits at 0 %, −2.67 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, Threshold speed was excessively high at 146 kt at 39 %, −2.31 points

Next time

Departure

Reduce power to hold the correct climb speed from the start of the climb.

What happened: During the initial climb, the aircraft was flown faster than the target climb speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: the normal climb speed band during the climb

See Departure Climb 1

Arrival

Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 31 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.

What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 31 ft down to touchdown.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 31 ft to touchdown.

See Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 23L at McGhee Tyson Airport (KTYS) in Alcoa, Tennessee. The takeoff distance was 806 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 126 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KTYS. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,012 feet above sea level to 11,754 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,742 feet in just 4 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 21 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time of the climb were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius.

After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile southwest of Walland, Tennessee. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 11,744 feet above sea level to 2,066 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,678 feet in 6 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 33 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached the airport, it began its final approach to runway 05R at KTYS. The approach was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 39.0 degrees at an altitude of 2 nautical miles and 1,089 feet above ground level. However, the landing was not without issues, as the threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 146 knots.

The aircraft touched down 412 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 129 knots, which was too fast. The touchdown rate, however, was excellent at -93 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius.

The total landing distance was 1,460 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing. After landing, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 58 nautical miles and took 12 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 319 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 05R at KTYS McGhee Tyson Airport in the Cessna Citation Longitude
Landing Score 82.46 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna Longitude aircraft successfully landed on runway 05R at KTYS McGhee Tyson Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 39.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,089 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 412 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have been slightly off in their calculations.

The touchdown speed of 129 knots was also too fast, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear. However, the touchdown rate of -93 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent effectively. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach path.

The threshold height at 70 feet agl was well above the target, suggesting that the pilot may have been flying a slightly higher approach path than intended. The threshold speed of 146 knots was also excessively high, which could have put the aircraft at risk of exceeding the recommended landing speed. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 14°C.

The total landing distance of 1,460 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to shorten the landing distance with a more precise approach and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft safely to the ground. However, there are areas for improvement, including reducing the touchdown speed and improving the accuracy of the approach path.
