Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.5 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Apply less back pressure in the flare, easing it in more slowly instead of arresting the sink sharply at 18 ft.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 18 ft, ballooning the aircraft before 266 fpm of sink rate returned as it settled back toward the runway.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: hold a steady, continuous descent through the normal flare band.

See Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport, LRBS. The Cessna CJ4 Citation took off with a takeoff distance of 728 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 144 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile east of Sector 1, Bucuresti, Romania, at an altitude of 1,325 feet above sea level. The climb continued for 3 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles, and resulted in an increase of 10,331 feet in altitude, reaching 11,656 feet above sea level. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 2 minutes, and covering another 13 nautical miles.

The enroute climb resumed 5 miles west of Baneasa, Giurgiu, Romania, with the aircraft climbing from 12,175 feet to 13,915 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,740 feet in 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 20 minutes, and covering 155 nautical miles, starting 2 miles south east of Ruse, Oblast Ruse, Bulgaria.

As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent 24 miles south east of Ahtopol, Burgas, Bulgaria, from 14,000 feet to 4,007 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,993 feet in 7 minutes, covering 59 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 3 minutes, and covering 9 nautical miles, starting overhead Eskuedar, Istanbul, Turkey.

The enroute descent resumed 2 miles north of LTBX İstanbul Samandıra Army Air Base Ümraniye, Istanbul, Turkey, with the aircraft descending from 4,595 feet to 2,787 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,808 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 2 minutes, and covering 4 nautical miles, starting 5 miles north of Umraniye, Istanbul, Turkey.

The final enroute descent started 3 miles north east of Sisli, Istanbul, Turkey, with the aircraft descending from 3,223 feet to 1,265 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,958 feet in 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then performed a go-around on runway 23 at LTBA İstanbul Atatürk Airport, at an altitude of 1,151 feet above ground level.

The final approach to runway 23 at LTBA İstanbul Atatürk Airport was from the north east, with a heading of 239.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,353 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 23 was completed, with a runway length of 2,442 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 122 knots.

The touchdown point was excessively long, using more than 75% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 99 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -131 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 22.6 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots

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.
