What went well

Touched down at -115 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 0.27 m off the centreline, no bounce
1.14 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold height at 133 ft agl was excessively over target at 0 %, Flare profile at 0 %, −4.72 points
Arrival Final 1 — Heading variation -7.2 ° at 0 %, Approach angle 6.9 ° at 21 %, −3.19 points
Departure Roll — Liftoff speed was 70 kt at 76 %, Takeoff Bounce at 80 %, −1.26 points

Next time

Departure

Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 57 kt rather than letting speed build further.

What happened: You lifted off at 70 kt against a rotation target of 57 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.

Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 57 kt.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 29 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.

What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 29 ft down to touchdown.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 29 ft to touchdown.

See Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight in question involved the Turbo Porter taking off from runway 23 at Inverness Airport (EGPE) in Scotland. The initial takeoff roll commenced shortly after departure, with the aircraft lifting off the ground at a speed of 70 knots, covering a distance of 258 meters, which represented only 14% of the total runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable for takeoff, with a temperature of 15°C, a gentle wind blowing at a speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 2-knot headwind.

As the aircraft departed Inverness Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 391 feet above sea level (asl) after ascending from its initial height of 432 feet asl in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The climb was relatively smooth and efficient, demonstrating the capabilities of the Turbo Porter.

For the final approach, the aircraft was heading in a southerly direction, at an angle of 18.0°, with an altitude of 356 feet agl and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The approach was made to runway 05, which was 1,814 meters in length, with the threshold height at 133 feet agl. However, the landing was somewhat challenging, as the threshold height indicated that the aircraft was excessively high.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 52 knots, demonstrating excellent control and braking capability. The touchdown point was 329 meters beyond the threshold, marking a distance of 67% of the runway length. The touchdown distance, while somewhat longer than desired, was acceptable, and the touchdown rate of -115 feet per minute was smooth and well-controlled. Additionally, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating precise control during the landing phase.

However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft deviating from the centerline by 9.1 meters. Local weather conditions during the landing phase were somewhat different from those encountered during takeoff, with a cooler temperature of 9°C, a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 335°, resulting in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.

Overall, the Turbo Porter performed well during this flight, exhibiting excellent climbing and landing capabilities. While there were some minor discrepancies during the landing phase, the aircraft's smooth touchdown and controlled rollout ensured a safe and successful outcome.

Landing Summary

The landing of the Turbo Porter aircraft is being evaluated. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport, approaching from the south with a heading of 18.0° and at an altitude of 356 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 0 nm from the runway threshold. This initial approach indicates that the aircraft was on track for a precise landing.

However, upon further evaluation, it becomes apparent that the aircraft did not reach the desired threshold height, being excessively high at 133 feet agl in comparison to the target height. Furthermore, the aircraft had an extremely high threshold speed, clocking in at 76 knots well above the target speed. This excessive speed raises some concerns over the proficiency of the pilot's ability to control the aircraft during descent.

The touchdown point of the aircraft also shows a significant deviation from the ideal, occurring 329 meters beyond the touchdown zone. Despite the slight miscalculation with the touchdown point, the touchdown speed of the aircraft was satisfactory at 52 knots, providing adequate control to handle the landing conditions. Additionally, the touchdown had a smooth rate of descent at -115 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting minimal disruption to the overall landing process.

An examination of the local weather conditions reveals a temperature of 9°C and a relatively strong wind of 14 knots at 335°, resulting in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. These conditions pose a challenging environment for the pilot, and the aircraft's ability to adapt and manage them is essential for a successful landing.

The total landing distance of the Turbo Porter was evaluated at 1216 meters, which represents 67% of the available runway. The landing distance is within acceptable limits, demonstrating that the pilot was able to handle the landing conditions successfully. Nevertheless, the runway rollout alignment showed a minor deviation, being slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.1 meters. This discrepancy highlights some room for improvement in the pilot's ability to execute a precise and smooth touchdown.

Overall, the landing of the Turbo Porter aircraft has resulted in a score of 72.2%, with a range of areas demonstrated by the pilot. While some aspects, such as speed control and alignment, are areas that require improvement, other performance metrics, such as touchdown speed and rate of descent, were satisfactory. Further refinement will be necessary to optimize the pilot's skills and achieve improved landing outcomes.
