What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was well above target at 70 kt at 91 %, −0.24 points
Pattern Downwind — Average altitude 1,072 ft agl at 95 %, −0.07 points
Arrival Touchdown — scored 99.53 %, −0.05 points

Next time

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 63 kt before crossing the threshold.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 70 kt, 7 kt above the 63 kt target.

Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 63 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

Flight narrative

The Cessna 172 taxied to runway 28 at EGSF Peterborough Business Airport and commenced the departure roll, covering a takeoff distance of 586 m which represented 67 % of the runway. Liftoff was achieved at 66 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 269°, resulting in a head-wind component of 1 kt and zero cross-wind.

During the left-hand pattern entry the aircraft covered less than 1 nm in 11 seconds, then proceeded on the left-hand crosswind leg for less than 1 nm in 39 seconds. The downwind turn spanned 1 nm at an angle of 62.7°, followed by a downwind leg of 2 nm completed in 67 seconds. The base turn covered 1 nm at an angle of 32.5°, after which the base leg was less than 1 nm in 21 seconds. The final turn was less than 1 nm in 9 seconds, positioning the aircraft for the final approach.

The final approach to runway 28 involved a descent from 539 ft agl to 50 ft agl in 43 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.

Landing was executed on runway 28, which is 872 m long. The threshold speed was recorded at 70 kt, above the target. Touchdown occurred 305 m down the runway at a speed of 58 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 101 fpm and perfect runway alignment. Weather remained 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 269°, head-wind 1 kt and cross-wind 0 kt.

In total the flight covered 7 nm, lasted 4 minutes, and consumed 1 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 28 at EGSF Peterborough Business Airport was conducted in a descent from 539 ft agl to 50 ft agl over 43 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.

At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was well above target at 70 kt.

Touchdown occurred 305 m down the 872 m runway with a speed of 58 kt, noted as a little fast, a smooth vertical rate of minus 101 fpm and perfect runway alignment.

With a score of 92.4 % the landing was solid; reducing the threshold and touchdown speeds to the intended targets will tighten the margin and further improve the score.
