Landing Score 93.13 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KCHA Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field) with a score of 93.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 197.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 20, which has a length of 7,404 feet.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down with a speed of 112 kt, which was slightly too fast. However, the touchdown distance of 1,254 feet was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -306 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a light wind of 2 kt from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind of 1 kt. The total landing distance of 3,328 feet was 45% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

During the rollout, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, indicating that the pilot had excellent control and coordination. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out smoothly. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and threshold speed, which were both slightly above the recommended values.
