The flight in question was operated by a Citation CJ3+ aircraft, registered as N60US. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft prepared for departure, it took off from runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport. The takeoff distance was 358 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway's total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 120 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 233 degrees. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots.
After departing from the airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the town of Charlwood in Surrey, England. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,196 feet above sea level to 2,346 feet, an increase of 1,150 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began approximately 1 mile southwest of the town of Bewbush in West Sussex, England, and lasted for 5 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport. The approach was made from the east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 258.0 degrees at an altitude of 855 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The aircraft landed safely on the runway, with a touchdown point located 310 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 106 knots, which was considered good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -242 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 233 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,275 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway's total length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In summary, the flight was a successful one, with the aircraft completing a total distance of 18 nautical miles in 15 minutes, while using 127 kilograms of fuel.
