Landing on runway 17L at KCOS City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport in the Cessna CJ4 Citation

Landing Score 89.03 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at the City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (KCOS) on runway 17L. The aircraft's final approach was initiated from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed with a runway length of 13,510 feet, providing ample space for the aircraft to touch down safely.

Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal approach path. However, the threshold speed was too high at 111 knots, which may have contributed to the subsequent touchdown speed being a little fast at 94 knots. Despite this, the touchdown rate was smooth at -132 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.

The touchdown point was located 1,724 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant distance. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's approach and landing were well-executed. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a light wind of 2 knots from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

The total landing distance of 4,505 feet was 33% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a controlled deceleration.

Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, despite some minor deviations from the ideal approach path. The aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were evident in the smooth touchdown rate and perfect runway alignment.
