Settle the descent rate

Arrival Approach

Next time

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, rather than letting it stop or relax.

What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it at 344 fpm, and the touchdown followed long at 1,961 ft against a 1,500 ft target. Sink returning late in the flare usually carries the touchdown long.

Watch for: Watch the sink rate in the flare, holding it smooth all the way to touchdown rather than letting 344 fpm return.

Departure

Hold the nose until reaching 71 kt before rotating.

What happened: Rotation began at 53 kt, 18 kt before the 71 kt target.

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 aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 17 at CYBW Calgary / Springbank Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 17, the airplane accelerated to a liftoff speed of 53 kt and became airborne after a takeoff distance of 1,389 ft, which represented 28 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 70 °F with wind 12 kt from 300°, a 10 kt crosswind component and a 6 kt tailwind.

Level cruise commenced overhead CYBW and was maintained for 6 minutes, during which the flight covered 15 nm.

The final approach to runway 35L at CYYC Calgary International Airport was executed from the south on a heading of 2.0° at 1 nm and 885 ft AGL; local conditions were 80 °F, wind 13 kt from 289°, a 12 kt crosswind and a 5 kt headwind.

Touchdown occurred on runway 35L, whose length is 12,648 ft, with a threshold speed of 75 kt; the aircraft contacted the surface 510 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 47 kt and a descent rate of minus 64 fpm, the touchdown point being 38 ft off the centreline.

The rollout distance measured 3,475 ft, equivalent to 27 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s path was slightly misaligned by 41 ft from the centreline during the roll.

After landing, the airplane taxied to the parking area in 8 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 18 nm, required 12 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 0 lbs of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 35L at CYYC Calgary International Airport was flown from the south on a heading of 2.0 ° at 1 nm and 885 ft agl, with local temperature 80 °F, wind 13 kt from 289 °, a 12 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.

The threshold height was reported as good, while the threshold speed was well above target at 76 kt.

Touchdown occurred 519 ft beyond the touchdown zone; the touchdown speed of 47 kt was good and the touchdown rate was excellent at minus 64 fpm. Lateral alignment at touchdown was off centreline by 38 ft.

The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 3,484 ft, representing 28 % of the 12,663-ft runway, and rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 41 ft from centreline.

Reduce the approach speed to meet the target threshold speed, which will help tighten the touchdown point and improve lateral alignment. Maintain precise centreline tracking during flare and rollout to keep deviations within a few feet of the runway centreline.
