Next time

Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 22°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 133 kt.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 139 kt against a target of 133 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 133 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Flight narrative

The Cessna Citation Longitude departed from runway 26 at KDKX Knoxville Downtown Island Airport, executing a take-off roll of 1,005 m which represented 94 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 137 kt while the ambient temperature was 30 °C.

During the climb phase the aircraft passed overhead Knoxville, ascending from 1,516 ft asl to 2,591 ft asl - a gain of 1,075 ft - in 1 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nm.

Level cruise commenced 1 mile east of TN98 Sky Ranch Airport, persisted for 2 minutes and spanned 7 nm before the descent began.

The final approach to runway 23L at KTYS McGhee Tyson Airport was flown from the north-east on a heading of 223.0° at 4 nm distance and 1,004 ft agl.

Landing on runway 23L, which measures 2,619 m, occurred with a threshold speed of 139 kt. Touchdown was recorded 251 m beyond the touchdown zone at 127 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 153 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.4 m from the centreline. The local temperature was 28 °C and the total landing distance measured 1,259 m, equivalent to 48 % of the runway length.

Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.

Taxi-in to the parking area required 1 minutes and covered less than 1 nm of movement on the airport surface.

In total the flight covered 18 nm, required 6 minutes of airborne time and consumed 104 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The approach to Runway 27 was initiated with a visual reference to the threshold, but unfortunately, the aircraft touched down prematurely, 1,000 feet short of the designated landing zone. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was also above the recommended threshold, indicating a potential loss of control during the landing phase. However, the touchdown rate of -189 feet per minute was satisfactory, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable descent.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's alignment with the centreline was significantly off, deviating by 195,553.3 meters. This excessive deviation was also observed during the rollout phase, where the aircraft remained misaligned by 195,509.8 meters. The total landing distance of 968 meters, accounting for 54% of the runway, was also higher than expected. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a crosswind of 10 knots, may have contributed to the pilot's difficulties in maintaining a stable approach and touchdown.

The overall score of 35.1% reflects the subpar performance during the landing phase. The combination of a premature touchdown, excessive touchdown speed, and significant deviations from the centreline during both touchdown and rollout phases resulted in a disappointing outcome. The pilot will need to focus on improving their approach and touchdown techniques to achieve a more satisfactory score.
