The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 25 at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport. The takeoff distance was 351 meters, which is 12% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 116 knots.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 21 knots at 260°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind was 21 knots. The pilot then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 25, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 15 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 10 seconds, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The aircraft then proceeded to the pattern downwind turn, which covered a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 109.9° to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 32 seconds to complete. The base leg turn was also 2 nautical miles long, with an angle of 6.5° to the runway. The final approach to runway 25 was made from the north-east, with a heading of 221.0° at 1 nautical mile and 658 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 25 was successful, with a touchdown point 279 meters beyond the touchdown zone. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 91 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -67 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.8 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 22 knots at 160°, with a crosswind of 22 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,141 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.5 meters. The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, taking approximately 4 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 48 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 25 at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 90.93 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport, achieving a score of 90.9%. The final approach to runway 25 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 221.0° at 1 nautical mile and 658 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 109 knots.

However, there were a few areas for improvement during the landing. The touchdown point was 279 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly further down the runway than intended. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 91 knots was a little fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown.

Despite these minor issues, the touchdown rate was excellent at -67 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown smoothly. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 22 knots from 160°. This resulted in a crosswind of 22 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. The total landing distance was 1,141 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot may have had some difficulty maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were a few areas for improvement that the pilot may want to focus on in future training sessions.
