Landing on runway 18C at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 93.36 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT) on runway 18C, achieving a score of 93.4%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 176.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,398 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 1,218 feet, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 108 knots was slightly too fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The threshold speed was also too high at 116 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to reduce the approach speed to a more optimal value.

The touchdown rate was firm at -304 feet per minute (fpm), which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 20 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor error in the pilot's alignment with the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 90°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from 180°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 9 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing performance.

The total landing distance was 2,481 feet, which is 25% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft effectively during the approach and landing phases. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot maintaining control throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there were some minor errors in terms of touchdown speed and runway alignment, which may have been due to a combination of factors including weather conditions and pilot technique.
