Landing on runway 03 at KFOE Topeka Regional Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 77.99 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at KFOE Topeka Regional Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 40.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 03, which has a length of 6,999 feet.

However, the landing was not executed perfectly. The threshold height at 93 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Furthermore, the threshold speed was excessively high at 130 knots, which is faster than the recommended speed for landing. This excessive speed could have contributed to the subsequent issues with the landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 826 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 108 knots was also too fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -407 feet per minute (fpm). This hard touchdown could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and could have potentially caused damage.

Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline, which could have made the landing more challenging. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 59°F and winds of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, with 2 knots and 1 knot respectively.

Despite the issues with the landing, the total landing distance of 3,712 feet was only 53% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop relatively quickly. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, which suggests that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, it was still a successful landing, and the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely.
