Next time

Departure

Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 42 kt rather than letting speed build further.

What happened: You lifted off at 58 kt against a rotation target of 42 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.

Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 42 kt.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 45 kt before crossing the threshold.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 79 kt, 34 kt above the 45 kt target.

Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 45 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

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 25 at the LRBS Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport, a Savage Cub aircraft. The takeoff distance required was 101 meters, which accounts for only 3% of the runway. The liftoff speed was achieved at 58 knots, a relatively smooth takeoff.

Under local weather conditions of 15 °C, a gentle wind of 2 knots from a 270-degree heading and slight headwinds and crosswinds of 2 and 1 knots respectively, the pilot took control of the aircraft. A left-hand pattern entry from the runway 25 LRBS Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport followed quickly, completing the turn in under 1 nautical mile in just 25 seconds.

As the aircraft continued through the pattern, it encountered varying degrees of wind resistance. The turn through the left hand pattern crosswind from runway 25 LRBS Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport showed a slightly reduced efficiency with the turn being accomplished in just 24 seconds. The downwind turn, with a distance of 1 nautical mile covered, had an angle to the runway of 85.8 degrees.

Further downwind, the leg maintained a speed that required only under 1 nautical mile in 49 seconds to complete.

The actual landing took place on runway 25 with the runway length measuring 2,950 meters. The threshold height at an altitude of 84 feet above ground level (agl) was notably above target, and the threshold speed exceeded expectations, reaching speeds of 79 knots.

The touchdown point was farther down the runway than ideal, with the aircraft utilizing more than 50% of the available runway. However, the touchdown speed of 35 knots was good, and the touchdown rate was fair, measured at -202 feet per minute (fpm). Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was not aligned with the centreline, with a displacement of 11.6 meters from the centreline.

Considering local weather conditions, with temperatures of 15 °C, winds of 2 knots from a 270-degree heading and crosswinds of 1 kt with headwinds of 2 kt, the landing came to an end. The total landing distance was found to be 1,593 meters, accounting for 54% of the runway length. Following a less-than-ideal landing rollout, the runway rollout alignment showed that the aircraft had deviated from the centreline by 8.8 meters.

Finally, as the pilot taxied the aircraft to the parking area from the runway, the time taken was 1 minute, and the distance covered was under 1 nautical mile. The entire flight distance covered was 5 nautical miles, lasting 8 minutes and consuming 2 kilograms of fuel.

Landing Summary

Incident Report: Savage Cub Landing at LRBS Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport

On this occasion, the Savage Cub aircraft successfully landed on runway 25 at LRBS Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport, but a closer examination of the events reveals several areas for improvement. The landing was conducted in favorable local weather conditions, with a relatively calm temperature of 15°C and slight headwind of 2 kt at 270°.

However, the crew faced challenges during the execution of the landing, particularly with regards to the aircraft's touchdown. The threshold height at 84 ft above ground level (agl) was significantly higher than the target, indicating a potential issue with the initial descent path or the aircraft's airspeed. Additionally, the threshold speed of 79 kt exceeded the recommended value, likely resulting in an extended flare phase or a compromised touchdown performance.

In terms of landing performance, the touchdown speed of 35 kt was satisfactory, but the touch point was too far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available length. This long touchdown point was partly due to the high speed at arrival over the threshold and partly due to an excessive touchdown rate of -202 ft/min, indicating a possible loss of airspeed during the flare. Furthermore, the touchdown position was misaligned by 11.6 meters from the centerline, potentially putting the aircraft at risk of veering off the remaining runway.

The landing distance of 1593 meters, accounting for 54% of the available runway, was still within safe limits, considering the headwind component of 2 kt. Yet, this outcome was somewhat fortunate, given the various deviations from the ideal landing conditions. During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was again found to be slightly misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline.

Considering these factors, the scoring of 65.4% highlights areas where the crew needs to refine their landing techniques, emphasizing the importance of proper planning and situational awareness to minimize deviations from the standard.
