Next time

Departure

Reduce power to hold the correct climb speed from the start of the climb.

What happened: During the initial climb, the aircraft was flown faster than the target climb speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: the normal climb speed band during the climb

See Departure Climb 1

Arrival

Keep easing the back pressure to let the aircraft settle from 17 ft instead of holding it level.

What happened: The sink was arrested at 17 ft and held there instead of being let down.

Watch for: Radio altimeter: continuous descent through the normal flare band to touchdown

See Arrival Landing

Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at McGhee Tyson Airport (KTYS) in Alcoa, Tennessee. This took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll from runway 05R at KTYS was smooth, with a takeoff distance of 1,156 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 134 knots.

As the aircraft climbed out of KTYS, it encountered local weather conditions of 7°C temperature and a wind of 15 knots at 349°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The enroute climb started overhead KTYS, where the aircraft ascended from 1,967 feet above sea level (asl) to 21,637 ft asl, an increase of 19,670 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase began 2 miles northeast of Newport, Tennessee, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 174 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 1 mile east of the Annie Penn Hospital Heliport in Reidsville, North Carolina, where it climbed from 21,579 ft asl to 29,237 ft asl, an increase of 7,658 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase resumed 3 miles east of the Vaughan Airport in Alton, Virginia, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 63 nautical miles. However, the aircraft then began its enroute descent 5 miles south of the Merlin Aerodrome in Amelia Court House, Virginia, where it descended from 29,528 ft asl to 8,541 ft asl, a decrease of 20,986 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase started again 2 miles northeast of the Burgess Field in Riverside, Maryland, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent overhead Accokeek, Maryland, where it descended from 8,524 ft asl to 1,845 ft asl, a decrease of 6,679 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 01 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) was made from the south, heading 355.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,771 feet above ground level (agl). The landing on runway 01 was smooth, with a touchdown distance of 389 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly too fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -328 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at KDCA were 4°C temperature and a wind of 23 knots at 330°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 21 knots. The total landing distance was 1,010 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.7 meters from the centerline.

The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 417 nautical miles, which was covered in 60 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,447 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway 01 at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in the Cessna Citation Longitude
Landing Score 88.69 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna Longitude aircraft successfully landed on runway 01 at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.7%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 355.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,771 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 146 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. The touchdown distance of 389 meters was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly too fast.

The touchdown rate of -328 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 23 knots from 330°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 21 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,010 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.7 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed. With some fine-tuning of the pilot's techniques, the aircraft can achieve an even higher score and a more efficient landing.
