The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed on runway 27 at KBOS Logan International Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft scored 76.1% on its landing, indicating that there were some areas for improvement. The final approach to the runway was from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 245 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 134 knots. This is a concern as it may indicate that the pilot was not properly configured for landing or that the aircraft was not properly trimmed. The touchdown distance was good, however, at 221 meters, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing.
The touchdown speed was also excessively fast at 130 knots, which is a concern as it may indicate that the pilot was not able to slow the aircraft down properly before touchdown. The touchdown rate was heavy at -630 feet per minute, which is also a concern as it may indicate that the aircraft was not properly configured for landing or that the pilot was not able to control the descent properly.
In addition to the issues with the landing itself, the aircraft also landed off-centerline by 9.2 meters. This is a concern as it may indicate that the pilot was not properly aligned with the runway or that the aircraft was not properly configured for landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were also a factor. The temperature was -2°C, and the wind was blowing at 24 knots from 290°. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 20 knots. These conditions may have made the landing more challenging for the pilot, but they do not excuse the issues with the landing itself.
Overall, while the Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft was able to land safely on runway 27 at KBOS Logan International Airport, there were several areas for improvement. The pilot and the aircraft's systems will need to be reviewed to determine the cause of the issues and to make any necessary adjustments to ensure a safe and successful landing in the future.
Landed with a 13 kt crosswind, well done!
