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

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.
