The flight began with an enroute climb from 4,411 feet above sea level (asl) to 17,994 ft asl, an increase of 13,583 feet in just 10 minutes, covering a distance of 58 nautical miles. This climb phase started 2 miles east of Luxor International Airport in Egypt.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise phase, which began 21 miles west of Abu Shahat Valley Air Base in Egypt. This cruise phase lasted for 67 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a significant distance of 555 nautical miles.

As the flight continued, the aircraft entered an enroute descent phase, which started 54 miles southeast of Karpathos in Greece. The descent from 17,985 ft asl to 3,820 ft asl was quite steep, with a decrease of 14,165 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which began 18 miles southeast of Karpathos and lasted for just 3 minutes, covering a short distance of 8 nautical miles.

The final descent phase started 10 miles southeast of Karpathos Airport, where the aircraft descended from 3,500 ft asl to 1,801 ft asl, a decrease of 1,700 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 30 at Karpathos Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 303.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,721 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on runway 30, which has a length of 2,093 meters.

The landing was not entirely smooth, with the threshold speed being too high at 113 knots. The touchdown point was 413 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 101 knots, which was considered fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -53 feet per minute (fpm).

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.7 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°.

The total landing distance was 1,342 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway length. The flight distance was 668 nautical miles, and the total fuel consumption was 1,984 kilograms.

Takeoff on runway at in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing on runway 30 at LGKP Karpathos Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 88.4 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at Karpathos Airport (LGKP) with a score of 88.4%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 303.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,721 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 30, which has a length of 2,093 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was too high at 113 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to maintain a higher speed than necessary during the approach, which could have affected the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown point was 413 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilot may have been slightly too aggressive with the landing, resulting in a faster touchdown speed.

The touchdown speed of 101 knots was also faster than ideal, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and brakes. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -53 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a smooth and controlled descent.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.7 meters from the centerline, which could have made the landing more challenging. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.

The total landing distance was 1,342 meters, which is 64% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance, but could have done so more efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.6 meters from the centerline, which suggests that the pilot may have been struggling to maintain a straight course during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement, including maintaining a more ideal threshold speed, touchdown speed, and runway alignment. With some adjustments to the pilot's technique, the aircraft could have performed even better during the landing.
