Top opportunity

Shorten the long landing

Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Landing Score 93.24 %
Landing Summary

Firstly, congratulations on achieving a landing score of 93.2%! This demonstrates solid proficiency in various aspects of the landing process. Let's breakdown the analysis further to understand the strengths and areas for improvement in each phase:

Approach Phase: The poor descent path above the glideslope limit suggests that the descent angle may have been steeper than optimal, potentially leading to a higher approach speed. This could contribute to a higher touchdown speed and potentially a firmer landing. It is essential to maintain proper descent profiles to ensure a smooth and controlled approach.

Landing Phase: On the positive side, having a good threshold height and executing a great landing flare are commendable. These aspects play a crucial role in achieving a smooth touchdown and minimizing the impact on the landing gear. However, the speed being slightly above target indicates a need for greater precision in airspeed control during the descent and flare.

Touchdown Phase: The firm touchdown rate suggests that there may have been excessive vertical speed at the moment of touchdown. While a firm landing may not always be avoidable, aiming for a smoother touchdown can help reduce stress on the aircraft structure. The slight overshoot in speed indicates a need for more precise speed control during the final moments of the landing. On a positive note, the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position being 8.8 m from the centerline show good alignment with the desired touchdown point.

Rollout Phase: The slight deviation in runway alignment (8.1 m from the centerline) during the rollout phase may have resulted from crosswinds or minor directional control adjustments. Maintaining precise runway alignment is crucial for a safe and controlled rollout after touchdown.

In conclusion, while achieving a high landing score is commendable, there are areas within each phase of the landing process that offer opportunities for improvement. Focusing on maintaining proper descent profiles, precise airspeed control, softer touchdown rates, and improved runway alignment can contribute to further enhancing your landing proficiency. Keep up the good work and continue striving for excellence in every phase of the landing sequence.
