The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 32R at the University of Illinois Willard Airport, KCMI. The takeoff distance was 2,080 feet, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 127 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was also 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Savoy, Illinois, and ascended from an altitude of 1,774 feet above sea level to 11,990 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,216 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of Rantoul, Illinois, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 41 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent overhead Chebanse, Illinois, and descended from 11,995 feet above sea level to 2,371 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,624 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Chicago Heights, Illinois, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08 at the Griffith-Merrillville Airport, 05C, was made from the west, heading 80 degrees, at an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 08 was characterized by a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was too high at 108 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 499 feet, and the touchdown speed of 105 knots was fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -145 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 62 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 269 degrees, with a crosswind component of 0 knots and a tailwind component of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,126 feet, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 102 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 32 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,913 pounds of fuel during the flight.

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at 05C Griffith-Merrillville, achieving a score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 80.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, resulting in a good threshold height.
However, there was a slight issue with the threshold speed, which was recorded at 108 knots, exceeding the desired speed. Despite this, the touchdown distance was satisfactory at 499 feet, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 105 knots was slightly faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -145 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 62°F and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind of 3 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 2,126 feet was 56% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with only minor issues with threshold speed and touchdown speed.
