Top opportunity

Fixing the bounce

Not the biggest loss in points — the one thing on this flight a check pilot would raise first, and the guide passage for it.

Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 28 at CFY4 Winters Aire Park Airport from the south east was executed with a heading of 296.0° at an altitude of 316 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height allowing for a stable and controlled descent. The aircraft maintained a steady state, aligning itself with the runway environment as it descended towards the threshold.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 482 feet, with a touchdown speed of 34 knots. The touchdown rate was firm, at -373 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled and stable touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor control input. The threshold speed of 43 knots was maintained, ensuring a safe and controlled touchdown.

The rollout phase was executed smoothly, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind of 1 knot at 269°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 0 and 1 knots respectively, allowing for a straightforward rollout. Overall, the landing was scored at 83.9%, reflecting a good but not exceptional performance.
