Landing Score 92.68 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation approached runway 20 at KCHA Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport from the north on a heading of 196.0° at 4 NM and 1,273 ft AGL. Local weather was 59 °F with wind 2 kt from 270°, giving a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.

The aircraft crossed the threshold at 95 kt, slightly above the target, and the threshold height was good.

Touchdown occurred 1,428 ft down the runway at 82 kt, which was good, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 113 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 17 ft from the centreline.

The total landing distance was 2,606 ft, 35 % of the 7,392 ft runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

Reduce the approach speed to meet the target threshold speed and refine lateral control to eliminate the 17 ft offset at touchdown; these adjustments will tighten an already strong 93.6 % score.
