Settle the descent rate

Arrival Approach

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

The flight departed from Calgary/Springbank Airport (CYBW), where a short taxiing period of less than one minute and under one nautical mile was required to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 35, with a takeoff distance of 625 feet, representing 13% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 35 knots, with a local temperature of 59°F and a wind of 1 knot from 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft climbed away from CYBW, it reached an altitude of 5,844 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,432 feet from the initial altitude of 4,412 feet. This climb phase, which lasted three minutes, covered a distance of three nautical miles. Subsequently, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 5,844 feet for 14 minutes while covering 11 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced one mile east of Arkayla Springs Airport (CKY8), where the aircraft descended from 6,104 feet to 4,117 feet in two minutes, covering a distance of two nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 21 at CKY8 was initiated from the northeast, with a heading of 226.0 degrees. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 31 knots, with a touchdown distance of 351 feet. The touchdown rate was relatively high at -565 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 47 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions remained consistent, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind of 1 knot from 270 degrees. The total flight distance was 17 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 22 minutes and a fuel consumption of 9 pounds.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 21 at CKY8 Arkayla Springs Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a stable approach. The pilot maintained a steady speed, reaching the threshold at 35 kt, within the recommended range. The touchdown distance of 351 ft was satisfactory, indicating a well-executed flare. However, the touchdown speed of 31 kt was slightly below the recommended range, suggesting a slightly hard touchdown.

The touchdown rate of -565 fpm was very hard, which may have been due to the pilot's attempt to maintain control and stability during the landing. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 47 ft from the centreline, which may have been caused by a slight deviation in the approach or a miscalculation of the wind conditions. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59 °F and a light wind of 1 kt at 270 °, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.

Despite the hard touchdown and centreline deviation, the overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory, with a score of 87.0%. The pilot demonstrated good control and stability during the approach and touchdown, but could benefit from further practice to improve the touchdown rate and centreline alignment.
