Landing on runway 10L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 94.84 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, achieving a score of 94.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 73.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.

The temperature at the time of landing was 18°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 99°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 8 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The threshold speed was maintained at 94 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled approach.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 334 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 81 knots. Although the touchdown speed was within the acceptable range, the touchdown rate of -250 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair. This suggests that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent to touchdown.

Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.

The total landing distance was 964 meters, which is 27% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed a precise and controlled approach. Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and judgment in managing the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
