What went well

Touched down at -202 fpm — a soft arrival
1.12 G at touchdown — inside band
Rollout held the centreline — 4.53 m off at taxi speed

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was excessively high at 89 kt at 0 %, Threshold height at 204 ft agl was excessively over target at 0 %, −6.29 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 1,103 m at 0 %, Speed at touchdown 67 kt at 0 %, −3.24 points
Arrival Rollout — bounce at touchdown; Landing distance 1,450 m at 29 %, −2.90 points

Next time

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final so threshold speed settles at 58 kt instead of carrying it into the flare.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 89 kt, well above the 58 kt target speed, and that excess speed was still showing at touchdown. Crossing the threshold fast usually carries straight through to a fast touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 58 kt on short final.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 21 at KSEZ Sedona Airport, a small airport located in Sedona, Arizona, United States. The Cessna 152 aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 55 kt. The takeoff distance was 394 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 6 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt blowing from a direction of 34 °.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of KSEZ Sedona Airport. The climb was initiated from an altitude of 5,079 ft above sea level and continued to an altitude of 5,586 ft, an increase of 507 ft in just 1 minute. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nm. The climb was followed by a level cruise, which began 2 miles southwest of the airport and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nm.

As the aircraft approached the end of its flight, it began its final approach to runway 21 at KSEZ Sedona Airport. The approach was made from the northeast, heading 230.0 °, and at an altitude of 687 ft above ground level. However, the landing was not without its challenges. The threshold height at 204 ft agl was excessively over target, and the threshold speed was also excessively high at 89 kt.

The touchdown point was located very far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was also excessively fast at 67 kt, but the touchdown rate was good at -197 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained good control of the aircraft during the approach and landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of takeoff, with a temperature of 6 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt blowing from a direction of 34 °.

The total landing distance was 1,450 meters, which is 93% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained good control of the aircraft during the rollout. The total flight distance was 7 nm, and the flight lasted for 8 minutes. The aircraft used 2 kg of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The Cessna 152 aircraft has successfully landed at KSEZ Sedona Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 230.0° at 0 nm and 687 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 21, which has a length of 1,562 meters.

However, the landing was not executed perfectly, as the threshold height at 204 ft agl was excessively over target. This indicates that the aircraft was higher than it should have been at the threshold of the runway, which could have made the landing more challenging. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 89 kt, which is above the recommended speed for landing.

The touchdown point was also very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This suggests that the aircraft was not aligned properly with the runway or that the pilot may have been too slow to flare, resulting in a longer than necessary landing roll. Furthermore, the touchdown speed at 67 kt was excessively fast, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and could have made the landing more difficult to control.

On the positive side, the touchdown rate was good at -197 fpm, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and without excessive deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, which suggests that the pilot was able to align the aircraft properly with the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 6°C and a wind of 1 kt at 34°. There was no crosswind, but there was a tailwind of 1 kt, which could have made the landing slightly more challenging.

The total landing distance was 1,450 meters, which is 93% of the available runway. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not excessively long. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's roll-out and bring it to a stop safely.

Overall, while the landing was not perfect, it was still a safe and successful landing. However, the pilot may want to review the flight and identify areas for improvement, such as reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed, and improving the alignment of the aircraft with the runway.
