What went well

Touched down at -131 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 0.3 ft off the centreline, no bounce
1.12 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, Threshold speed was too high at 112 kt at 80 %, −1.25 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 2,462 ft at 68 %, −0.21 points
Arrival Taxi — Landing Lights at 1 %, −0.21 points

Next time

Departure

Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 130 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.

What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 144 kt, 14 kt above the target liftoff speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 130 kt at liftoff

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Apply less back pressure in the flare, easing it in more slowly instead of arresting the sink sharply at 19 ft.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 19 ft, ballooning the aircraft before 170 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.

Landing on runway 20 at KCHA Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field) in the Cessna Citation CJ4
Landing Score 91.22 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KCHA Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field) with a score of 91.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 197.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 1,059 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. However, the touchdown speed of 98 knots was a bit fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to touch down earlier and with a lower speed. The touchdown rate of -130 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.

The threshold speed was too high at 112 knots, which is above the recommended speed for a safe landing. This may have contributed to the slightly long touchdown distance. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 77°F, which did not pose any significant challenges for the landing.

The total landing distance of 3,874 feet was 52% of the runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to use a shorter landing distance with a more optimal approach and touchdown speed. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot demonstrated good control and smoothness during the approach and touchdown phases. With some adjustments to the approach and touchdown speed, the pilot may be able to achieve a higher score and a shorter landing distance in the future.
