Landing on runway 23 at LTBA İstanbul Atatürk Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 62.4 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft has successfully landed at LTBA İstanbul Atatürk Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, heading 239.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,353 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 99 kt, which was slightly faster than ideal. The touchdown point was also excessively long, utilizing more than 75% of the available runway. This indicates that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before reaching the runway threshold. The threshold height at 64 ft agl was above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach.

The threshold speed was excessively high at 122 kt, which is a concern as it may indicate that the pilot was not able to maintain a stable approach speed. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 22.6 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to a variety of factors including crosswind or pilot error.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 kt at 270°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 kt, and the headwind was 2 kt, which would have had a negligible effect on the aircraft's approach and landing.

The total landing distance was 2,359 meters, which is 97% of the available runway length. This is a concern as it indicates that the aircraft may have been unable to stop within the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 22.6 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to a variety of factors including pilot error or a malfunctioning aircraft system.

Overall, while the Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft was able to land safely, the landing was not without its issues. The pilot may have benefited from additional training or practice to improve their approach and landing skills.
