Shorten the long landing

Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna CJ4 Citation, then departed from runway 17R at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (KDFW). The takeoff distance was 40 feet, which is a relatively small percentage of the runway. The liftoff speed was 141 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,593 feet above sea level to 24,981 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,388 feet, in just 9 minutes and covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began, lasting for 60 minutes and covering a distance of 428 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place overhead the Carter-Norman Airport (TA87) in Boyd, Texas.

The enroute descent started 6 miles southeast of the Fowler Airport (CO80) in Colorado, and it took the aircraft from an altitude of 24,470 feet above sea level to 7,431 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,039 feet, in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 56 nautical miles.
