What went well

Touched down at -134 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 4.3 ft off the centreline, no bounce
1.15 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, Threshold speed was too high at 111 kt at 87 %, −1.19 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 3,130 ft at 0 %, −0.64 points
Departure Roll — Runway alignment max 24.1 ft right at 84 %, −0.30 points

Next time

Departure

Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.

What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.5 g, a high value for that phase.

Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band

See Departure Climb 1

Arrival

Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 37 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.

What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 37 ft down to touchdown.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 37 ft to touchdown.

See Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The enroute level cruise began overhead the Barton Creek Resort Heliport (58TA) in Austin, Texas, and lasted for 66 minutes, covering 468 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 2 miles south east of the Limon Municipal Airport (KLIC) in Limon, Colorado, descending from 24,676 feet above sea level to 10,013 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,663 feet in 8 minutes and covering 42 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started again 3 miles south east of the Fat Chance Airport (36CO) in Peyton, Colorado, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 2 miles north east of Black Forest, Colorado, with the aircraft descending from 9,956 feet above sea level to 7,442 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,514 feet in 3 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 17L at the City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (KCOS) was made from the north, heading 180.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,293 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the 13,510-foot runway, with the threshold height at 55 feet above ground level being slightly above target. The threshold speed was too high at 111 knots.

The touchdown point was 1,724 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with the touchdown speed at 94 knots being a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -132 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 59°F temperature and a 2-knot wind at 270°.

The total landing distance was 4,505 feet, which is 33% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.

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.
