Arrival
The flight in question was operated by a Cessna Citation X aircraft, registered as N750VY. The aircraft took off and began its enroute climb from an altitude of 898 feet above sea level (asl) over the town of Bioggio in Ticino, Switzerland. The climb was extremely steep, reaching an altitude of 2,850 feet asl in just one minute, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile.
After reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, flying over the town of Agno in Ticino, Switzerland. This phase lasted for two minutes and covered a distance of six nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from an altitude of 2,878 feet asl over the town of Besano in Lombardia, Italy. The climb was less steep than the initial one, reaching an altitude of 3,423 feet asl in two minutes, covering a distance of three nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, starting from an altitude of 3,440 feet asl over the town of Stabio in Ticino, Switzerland. The descent was steep, reaching an altitude of 1,253 feet asl in two minutes, covering a distance of seven nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01 at Lugano Airport (LSZA) was made from the south, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 3.0 degrees and an altitude of 344 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed safely on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 117 knots and a touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 397 meters, which was within the acceptable limits.
The landing was considered good, with a threshold height and speed that met the required standards. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.3 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 253 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was zero.
The total landing distance was 985 meters, which accounted for 96% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing phase. The total flight distance was 18 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 12 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 108 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Cessna Citation X, registration N750VY Black, successfully landed at Lugano Airport (LSZA) with a score of 88.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 3.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 344 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 1,025 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height, with a speed of 126 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 397 meters. The touchdown speed of 117 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute (fpm) was also good. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.3 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 253°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was negligible at 0 knots. The total landing distance of 985 meters was 96% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
One notable aspect of the landing was the excellent runway rollout alignment, which was described as very good. This suggests that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a smooth and stable transition from the landing phase to the taxi phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good airmanship and control of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
