Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27 at BIKE Kerlingafjöll Airport, where the aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, successfully took off after covering a takeoff distance of 97 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 50 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead BIKE Kerlingafjöll Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,113 feet above sea level to 4,146 feet, an increase of 2,034 feet, in just 4 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 54 minutes and covered a distance of 76 nautical miles. This cruise phase began 6 miles southwest of BIKE Kerlingafjöll Airport.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 30 at BIVM Vestmannaeyjar Airport from the east. The aircraft was at an altitude of 619 feet above ground level and was 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold when it started its descent. The local weather conditions at the time were similar to those at the departure airport, with a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 16 knots.

The landing on runway 30 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 37 knots. However, the touchdown point was located very far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown rate was fair at -223 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline. The pilot had to exercise caution to avoid stalling the aircraft, as the threshold speed was well below the target speed.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 83 nautical miles and lasted for 65 minutes, using 22 kilograms of fuel.

Landing report
Landing on runway 30 at BIVM Vestmannaeyjar Airport in the Cessna Skyhawk
Landing Score 84.29 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk has successfully landed at BIVM Vestmannaeyjar Airport, but the landing could have been executed more efficiently. The aircraft scored 84.3% in the landing, indicating a good overall performance. The final approach to runway 30 was initiated from the east, heading 291.0° at 1 nautical mile and 619 feet above ground level (agl).

The pilot successfully landed the aircraft on the runway, but the touchdown point was quite far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available length. This suggests that the pilot may have been a bit too cautious or may have misjudged the aircraft's speed and distance to the runway. The threshold speed of 43 knots was well below the target, which is a good thing, as it indicates that the pilot was taking care not to stall the aircraft.

However, the touchdown speed of 37 knots was good, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down to a safe speed before touching down. The touchdown rate of -223 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the pilot could have done a better job of controlling the aircraft's descent rate.

One of the notable issues with the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off by 9.4 meters from the centerline. This could have been due to a variety of factors, including crosswind or pilot error.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were quite challenging, with a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from 300°. The crosswind component was relatively light at 3 knots, but the headwind component was significant at 16 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot managed to execute a safe landing, but there is room for improvement in terms of efficiency and precision.
