Top opportunity

Avoid steep turns at low altitude

Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Landing on runway 09 at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport in the Cessna Citation CJ4
Landing Score 95.62 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KARR Aurora Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 95.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 89.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway threshold.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 09, which has a length of 6,474 feet. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly too high at 107 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown distance of 635 feet was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown speed of 106 knots was slightly too fast.

The rate of descent during touchdown was fair at -296 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting that the pilot may have been able to control the aircraft's descent more effectively. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the final approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance of 2,160 feet was 33% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

During the rollout phase, the aircraft maintained excellent alignment with the runway, indicating that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's direction and speed. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the final approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of threshold speed and touchdown speed to achieve a more precise and controlled landing.
