The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed on runway 17L at LTBA İstanbul Atatürk Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 180.0° at 1 nm and 784 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down 742 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 107 kt was also higher than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown. The touchdown rate of -223 fpm was fair, but not ideal. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to a variety of factors including wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 kt from 270°. This would have resulted in a very slight headwind, but not enough to significantly impact the landing. The crosswind was also minimal, at 2 kt.
The runway length at LTBA İstanbul Atatürk Airport is 3,005 meters, which is more than sufficient to accommodate the Cessna CJ4 Citation's landing distance of 1,798 meters, or 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft safely to the ground. However, there are areas for improvement, including reducing the touchdown speed and improving the alignment of the aircraft during touchdown.
