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.

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.
