Landing on runway 25L at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 98.28 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed on runway 25L at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 946 feet above ground level (agl).

The pilot executed a precise final approach, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 107 knots. This indicates a high level of control and precision during the approach phase. The touchdown distance of 1,028 feet was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed.

However, the touchdown speed of 101 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -287 feet per minute (fpm). While this is not ideal, it did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach, and the aircraft touched down on the centerline of the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 70°F, were favorable for the landing.

The total landing distance of 2,417 feet was 31% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a smooth and controlled rollout, with a very good runway rollout alignment. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and precision in executing a safe and controlled touchdown.
