Landing on runway 25R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 68.28 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft has successfully landed at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach to runway 25R was initiated from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,408 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 1,561 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the target. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was also excessively high, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown. The touchdown rate of -276 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, but not ideal.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle headwind of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots. The runway length of 11,107 feet was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 4,906 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway.

However, there were some issues with the landing performance. The threshold height at 120 feet agl was excessively over target, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed of 135 knots was also excessively high, suggesting that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown.

Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 50 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to the pilot's inability to maintain a stable alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement in terms of approach and touchdown performance.
