The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 03 at GVNP Nelson Mandela International Airport. The takeoff distance was 505 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 110 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,336 feet above sea level to 46,266 feet above sea level, an increase of 44,931 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 75 nautical miles.

The enroute climb started overhead GVNP Nelson Mandela International Airport in Praia, Cape Verde. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which began 56 miles south of Cova Figueira, Cape Verde, and lasted for 62 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 1,227 nautical miles. The level cruise phase was followed by a descent, which started 104 miles northeast of Touros, Brazil, and ended at 46,116 feet above sea level.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which began 33 miles east of Touros, Brazil, and lasted for 2 minutes.

Landing on runway 12 at SBSG Governador Aluízio Alves International Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 93.87 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at SBSG Governador Aluízio Alves International Airport, achieving a score of 93.9%. The final approach to runway 12 was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 100.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 12, which has a length of 2,985 meters. The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing height. However, the threshold speed of 103 knots was significantly above the target, suggesting that the aircraft was traveling at a higher speed than necessary for a smooth landing.

The touchdown point was located 237 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 85 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -93 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

Despite the successful landing, there were some minor issues with the aircraft's alignment. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline. These deviations are relatively minor and do not appear to have had a significant impact on the overall landing performance.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 170°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions would have required the pilot to make some adjustments to the aircraft's approach and landing, but they do not appear to have presented any significant challenges.

Overall, the Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft performed well during the landing, achieving a high score and demonstrating a high level of proficiency in terms of speed, altitude, and alignment. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance, which will need to be addressed in future training and practice.
