The flight in question was operated by a Cessna Citation X aircraft, registered as C-FWRX, with winglets. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.

As the aircraft departed from runway 15 at YBCS Cairns International Airport, it utilized 28% of the runway's length, covering a distance of 873 meters. The takeoff speed was 146 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 7 knots at 170 degrees, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 7-knot headwind.

Following takeoff, the aircraft initiated its enroute climb, which began overhead Aeroglen in the state of Queensland, Australia. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,024 feet above sea level to 47,727 feet above sea level, an increase of 46,703 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 153 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase started 9 miles east of Horseshoe Bay in the state of Queensland, Australia, and lasted for 89 minutes, covering a distance of 765 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead Quirindi in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 46,506 feet above sea level to 9,073 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,433 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.

The aircraft then initiated another level cruise phase, this time starting overhead Mount Kuring-Gai in the state of New South Wales, Australia, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began again, this time starting overhead West Pymble in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 8,912 feet above sea level to 1,310 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,602 feet, in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 34L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport from the south, heading 348.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,285 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 34L, which had a length of 3,885 meters. The threshold height at 62 feet above ground level was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 132 knots.

The touchdown point was 278 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 120 knots and a touchdown rate of -185 feet per minute, both of which were considered good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 11 knots at 320 degrees, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 10-knot headwind.

The total landing distance was 2,130 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area from the runway in approximately 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,079 nautical miles, taking 162 minutes to complete, and utilized 2,192 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 34L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport in the Cessna Citation X | C-FWRX - Winglets

Landing Score 90.36 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Citation X, registration C-FWRX, successfully landed at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY) on runway 34L. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 348.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.

The temperature at the time of landing was 16°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots from 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 10 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The aircraft's winglets, a distinctive feature of the Cessna Citation X, likely contributed to its stability and maneuverability during the approach.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 120 knots, which was within the target range. The touchdown rate of -185 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.

The touchdown point was 278 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the total landing distance of 2,130 meters, accounting for 55% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.

Overall, the landing of Cessna Citation X, C-FWRX, was a successful and well-executed operation, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency. The aircraft's performance and handling characteristics were evident throughout the approach and landing phases, and the outcome was a safe and controlled touchdown on runway 34L at YSSY.
