The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Citation CJ3+, then departed from runway 21 at the Sedona Airport (KSEZ) in Arizona, United States. The takeoff distance was 648 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 124 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots coming from 179 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the Sedona Airport. The climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 65 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 5,548 feet above sea level to 41,706 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,158 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 34 minutes and covered a distance of 241 nautical miles. This phase began 13 miles northeast of Winslow, Arizona. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 18 miles north of Creede, Colorado. The descent took 30 minutes and covered a distance of 156 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 41,040 feet above sea level to 6,916 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,124 feet.
The final approach to runway 16L at the Denver International Airport (KDEN) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 180 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,559 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 230 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 111 knots, which was considered good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -214 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 15 knots coming from 130 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance was 1,400 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.4 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 468 nautical miles, which was covered in 89 minutes, and the aircraft used 672 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Citation CJ3+ aircraft, registered as N60US, successfully landed at Denver International Airport (KDEN) with a score of 92.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,559 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach to runway 16L, which is 3,670 meters long.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height and speed, reaching 124 knots. The touchdown point was located 230 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal spot but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 111 knots was also within the recommended range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, the touchdown rate of -214 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent to reduce the impact on the aircraft. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from 130°. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 9 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,400 meters was 38% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.4 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot could have maintained a more precise alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment.
