The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 478 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 34R at LTBJ Adnan Menderes International Airport. The takeoff distance was 474 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 109 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 20 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead LTBJ Adnan Menderes International Airport Gaziemir. The climb took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 38 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,458 feet above sea level to 27,307 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,849 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles east of Zeytindag. This phase lasted for 22 minutes and covered a distance of 122 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 17 miles south of Beylikduezue. The descent took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 43 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 27,056 feet above sea level to 1,629 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,427 feet.
The final approach to runway 24R at LTFJ Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport was made from the north-east, with a heading of 244.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,319 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 24R, which had a length of 2,986 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 99 knots.
The touchdown point was 51 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 86 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -72 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,170 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centreline. The total flight distance was 211 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 63 minutes. The aircraft used 653 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at LTFJ Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 244.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,319 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of -3°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 60°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 24R, which has a length of 2,986 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 99 knots. The touchdown point was 51 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 86 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -72 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions had a minimal impact on the landing, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance of 1,170 meters was 39% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, the pilot maintained control and alignment during the rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline, suggesting a minor deviation from the ideal path.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and safe execution of the landing. The high score of 97.3% reflects the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently, even in challenging weather conditions.
