Landing on runway 33 at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 87.43 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft scored 87.4% on its landing, indicating a decent performance but room for improvement. The final approach to runway 33 was initiated from the southeast, heading 327.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,258 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 1,129 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal touchdown point. The touchdown speed of 109 kt was also too fast, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown. The touchdown rate of -224 fpm was fair, but not exceptional.

One of the major concerns with this landing was the threshold speed, which was excessively high at 126 kt. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to maintain a stable approach speed, leading to a higher-than-ideal touchdown speed. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 34 feet from the centreline, which could have contributed to the aircraft's deviation from the ideal touchdown point.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 1 kt from 270°. This suggests that the wind was not a significant factor in the landing, and the pilot should have been able to maintain a stable approach despite the slight headwind.

The total landing distance of 3,601 feet was 66% of the runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown, leading to a longer-than-ideal landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 40 feet from the centreline, which could have contributed to the aircraft's deviation from the ideal touchdown point.

Overall, while the Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport, there are several areas for improvement. The pilot should focus on maintaining a stable approach speed, slowing the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown, and aligning the aircraft with the centreline of the runway. With practice and attention to these areas, the pilot should be able to achieve a higher landing score and improve the overall performance of the aircraft.
