Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 25 at the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (KSBA). The takeoff distance was 1,940 feet, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 140 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Isla Vista, California. The climb took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 21 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,049 feet above sea level to 17,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,962 feet.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles northeast of the W R Byron Airport (44CA) in Blythe, California. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 6 miles southwest of Ventura, California. The descent took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 40 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 17,008 feet above sea level to 4,991 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,017 feet.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles east of Topanga, California. This phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Cudahy, California. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 4,730 feet above sea level to 1,175 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,556 feet.

The final approach to runway 25R at the Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) was made from the east, with a heading of 263.0° and an altitude of 1,029 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 11,107 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 93 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,453 feet, and the touchdown speed was 81 knots, both of which were good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -293 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 36 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 186 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 1 knot.

The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 107 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 44 minutes. The aircraft used 641 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 25R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport in the Cessna Citation CJ4
Landing Score 81.97 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna CJ4 Citation aircraft successfully landed at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport on runway 25R, achieving a score of 82.0%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,029 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control during the approach, with a threshold height that met the required standards.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was also satisfactory at 93 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,453 feet was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 81 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate of -293 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.

One notable issue during the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 36 feet. This could have been due to a variety of factors, including pilot error or a discrepancy in the aircraft's navigation systems. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 186 feet from the centerline, which could have increased the risk of the aircraft veering off the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 60°F and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind was minimal at 1 knot. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase.
