Landing on runway 13 at VHHX Hong Kong International Airport Kai Tak in the Cessna Longitude

Landing Score 97.25 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Longitude successfully landed at VHHX Hong Kong International Airport Kai Tak, achieving a score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 133.0° at 0 nm and 487 ft above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 13, which has a length of 3,112 meters.

Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was above the target at 120 kt. The touchdown point was 109 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 107 kt was slightly faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -180 fpm was considered good.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the deviation from the touchdown zone. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 1 kt at 270°, and minimal crosswind or tailwind.

The total landing distance of 1,490 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there were some minor deviations from the desired landing parameters, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
