Landing on runway 13 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 89.75 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 approached runway 13 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport from the north-west on a final approach heading 121.0° at 2 nm and 859 ft agl, with temperature 26 °C, wind 9 kt from 306°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 9 kt tailwind component.

At threshold the aircraft maintained a good height and a threshold speed of 62 kt, both described as good.

Touchdown occurred 158 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 53 kt judged good, a smooth vertical rate of minus 136 fpm, and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 6.8 m from the centreline.

The rollout covered 935 m, representing 44 % of the 2 131 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.

Minor refinements should focus on reducing the touchdown point offset and tightening centreline alignment to keep the touchdown within the zone and closer to the runway centreline.
