Next time

Arrival

Add power on final to hold 65 kt across the threshold.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 51 kt, 14 kt below VREF, and low energy like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown at 177 fpm.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 65 kt at the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

Departing from Locarno Airport's runway 08L, the Tecnam P2008 JC began its takeoff roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 55 kt in a distance of 740 m, which accounted for 92% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off into a calm local weather environment, with a temperature of 28 °C and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 230 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of agility, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 98 seconds. The subsequent crosswind correction was equally impressive, with the aircraft responding to the turn in just 22 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was executed at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a distance of 1 nm and an angle of 5.3 degrees. The final approach to runway 26R was initiated from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 258.0 ° at 1 nm and 701 ft above ground level.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 39 kt and a distance of 140 m, well within the available runway length of 802 m. The touchdown rate was a commendable -100 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The aircraft's performance was further highlighted by its ability to complete the 3nm flight distance in just 4 minutes, using a mere 0 kg of fuel. Overall, the flight demonstrated a high level of proficiency and control, with the pilot executing a series of precise and efficient maneuvers.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 26R at LSZL Locarno Airport from the east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 258.0° at 1 nautical mile and 701 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with the pilot demonstrating a high degree of control and situational awareness. The aircraft touched down on the runway threshold at a speed of 51 knots, which was well within the acceptable range.

The touchdown characteristics were equally impressive, with the aircraft coming to rest at a speed of 39 knots and a rate of descent of -100 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The pilot's ability to maintain a steady state and control the aircraft's descent was evident in the short touchdown distance of 140 meters, which was well within the acceptable range for a runway of this length.

The rollout phase was also executed smoothly, with the pilot maintaining control of the aircraft as it decelerated to a stop. The overall performance of the pilot and the aircraft was exceptional, with a final score of 95.4%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots, did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot, and the aircraft performed admirably in the conditions.
