The local weather conditions at this time were a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius.

The enroute level cruise started 5 miles south of the Corntassel Airport (07TN) in Vonore, Tennessee, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 40 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles southwest of South Cleveland, Tennessee, and descended from 26,088 feet above sea level to 4,397 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,692 feet in 14 minutes, covering 82 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started again 3 miles east of Owens Cross Roads, Alabama, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 4 miles southeast of Huntsville, Alabama, and descended from 4,102 feet above sea level to 2,259 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,843 feet in 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 36 at the Madison County Executive Airport-Tom Sharp Jr Field (KMDQ) was made from the south, heading 1.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,522 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 36, which had a length of 1,989 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 146 knots.

The touchdown point was 69 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was excessively fast at 142 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -336 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at this time were a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius.

The total landing distance was 1,109 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 184 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 36 minutes. The aircraft used 758 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 36 at KMDQ Madison County Executive Airport-Tom Sharp Jr Field in the Cessna Citation Longitude
Landing Score 89.64 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna Longitude aircraft successfully landed at KMDQ Madison County Executive Airport-Tom Sharp Jr Field, but the landing was not without some issues. The final approach to runway 36 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 1.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,522 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 69 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone.

The touchdown speed of 142 knots was excessively fast, and the threshold speed of 146 knots was also higher than expected. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -336 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline, which could have contributed to the issues with the touchdown speed and position.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 12°C. The total landing distance of 1,109 meters was 56% of the available runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This suggests that the aircraft may have been slowed down more quickly than expected, resulting in a shorter landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline, which could have contributed to the issues with the landing.

Overall, while the Cessna Longitude aircraft was able to land safely at KMDQ Madison County Executive Airport-Tom Sharp Jr Field, the landing was not without some issues. The pilot may have benefited from additional training or practice to improve their ability to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown and to maintain a more accurate alignment with the runway centerline.
