What went well

Touchdown 316 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 31 ft and 63 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 0.12 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -152 fpm at 88 %, −0.23 points

Next time

Arrival

In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.

What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 151 fpm, a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown

See Arrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Flight narrative

Departing from Sedona Airport (KSEZ), the Cessna C172 began its takeoff roll on runway 21. The aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 64 kt, achieving lift-off in a distance of 545 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 6 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt from a direction of 209°.

As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from an initial altitude of 5,341 ft above sea level to a cruising altitude of 5,610 ft. This climb phase was accomplished in a mere 1 minute, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile and increasing its altitude by 269 ft. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude for 3 minutes while covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 21 was initiated from a heading of 224.0°, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 449 ft above ground level.

The Cessna C172 touched down on runway 21 with a touchdown speed of 56 kt, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 308 meters was also satisfactory, accounting for 20% of the runway length. The aircraft's touchdown rate of -298 ft per minute was slightly above the target, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out on the runway, maintaining perfect alignment. The total landing distance of 721 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The flight concluded with a total distance of 7 nautical miles, a flight time of 6 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 2 kg.
