Top opportunity

Fixing the bounce

Arrival Touchdown

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.

Flight narrative

This flight was conducted in a Curtiss JN-4D aircraft, a biplane designed for training and recreational purposes. The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway, a distance of less than 1 nautical mile, in under a minute.

Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft began its departure roll from runway 27 at LRPW Gheorghe Valentin Bibescu. The takeoff distance was 220 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway's total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 53 knots, indicating a relatively smooth takeoff.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind of 2 knots.

After takeoff, the aircraft entered a level cruise, flying overhead LRPW Gheorghe Valentin Bibescu for 2 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This brief period of cruising was followed by a final approach to runway 27 from the east, with the aircraft heading 271.0 degrees at an altitude of 136 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 27 was notable for its good touchdown distance of 167 meters, despite a threshold speed that was excessively high at 59 knots. The touchdown speed of 51 knots was also considered excessively fast, while the touchdown rate of -167 feet per minute was deemed good. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 31.9 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing path.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing remained the same as during takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind and headwind conditions were negligible, with 0 and 2 knots, respectively.

In conclusion, the flight was relatively short, covering a total distance of 2 nautical miles and lasting 4 minutes. The aircraft used 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight, indicating a moderate level of fuel consumption.

Landing Summary

The Curtiss JN-4D aircraft successfully landed on runway 27 at LRPW Gheorghe Valentin Bibescu, but there were some areas for improvement in the landing process. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 271.0° at an altitude of 136 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

However, the pilot encountered some issues during the landing process. The threshold speed was excessively high at 59 knots, which is above the recommended speed for a safe landing. This could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially led to a bumpy ride for the passengers. On the other hand, the touchdown distance was good at 167 meters, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing.

Another area of concern was the touchdown speed, which was excessively fast at 51 knots. This could have resulted in a harder landing and potentially damaged the aircraft's landing gear or other components. Fortunately, the touchdown rate was good at -167 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the pilot managed to slow down the aircraft quickly and safely.

The runway touchdown position was also excessively misaligned by 31.9 meters from the centerline, which could have made it difficult for the pilot to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing. This misalignment could have also resulted in a longer landing distance and potentially damaged the aircraft's landing gear.

The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 2 knots, which helped to slow down the aircraft during the landing.

Overall, while the Curtiss JN-4D aircraft landed safely, there were some areas for improvement in the landing process. The pilot needs to work on maintaining a safe threshold speed, touchdown speed, and runway alignment to ensure a smooth and safe landing.
