Arrival Approach

Next time

Adjust power to bring the approach speed onto 65 kt and hold it through the gates.

What linked up: The approach speed deviated from the target through the stabilisation gates. This kind of deviation usually carries through to an unstable threshold crossing.

Watch for: Watch the airspeed indicator against 65 kt.

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

Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Locarno Airport (LSZL) took 24 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Tecnam P2008 JC, began its departure roll on runway 08L, utilizing 56% of the 450-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 55 knots. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 28°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots from 206°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component.

The enroute climb phase commenced overhead Cugnasco, with the aircraft ascending from 1,548 feet above sea level to 2,146 feet, a vertical gain of 598 feet in 1 minute, while covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The enroute level cruise phase followed, starting overhead Cadenazzo and lasting 8 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 9 nautical miles. Subsequent enroute climb and level cruise phases took place, with the aircraft ascending from 1,254 feet to 1,999 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, and then cruising at an altitude of 2,018 feet above sea level for 3 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began overhead Gordola, with the aircraft descending from 2,018 feet to 1,032 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, while covering 3 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 08L at LSZL Locarno Airport was conducted from the west, with the aircraft heading 65.0° at 1 nautical mile and 370 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 219 meters and a touchdown speed of 47 knots, although slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was excellent at -86 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 26 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 24 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 4 kilograms of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 08L at LSZL Locarno Airport from the west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 65.0° at 1 nm and 370 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 60 kt, indicating a slight delay in the touchdown process.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 219 m, demonstrating a well-executed flare. Unfortunately, the touchdown speed of 47 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to a slightly higher than ideal touchdown rate. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -86 fpm was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline.

The rollout phase was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a gentle wind of 3 kt at 215°, contributed to a stable and predictable flight environment. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 95.7%.
