Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

This flight was conducted in a Cessna C172 aircraft, departing from Essex County Airport (KCDW) in New Jersey, United States. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 28, with a takeoff distance of 358 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 62 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 1 knot was present. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the Essex County Airport, and continued to climb from an altitude of 361 feet above sea level to 1,118 feet above sea level, an increase of 757 feet, in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began overhead North Caldwell, New Jersey, and lasted for 12 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 01 at Teterboro Airport (KTEB) was conducted from the south, with a heading of 1.0° and an altitude of 95 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 01 at KTEB was successful, with a touchdown distance of 385 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 49 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -142 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 11 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°, and a crosswind of 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 585 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 10.1 meters. The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 15 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 01 at KTEB Teterboro Airport in the Cessna 172
Landing Score 86.83 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed on runway 01 at KTEB Teterboro Airport, achieving an overall score of 86.8%. The final approach was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 1.0° at 0 nm and 95 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot successfully navigated the aircraft to the runway, but encountered some challenges during the landing process.

One of the notable issues was the threshold height, which was above the target height at 69 ft agl. This indicates that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when approaching the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 74 kt, which may have contributed to the slightly elevated threshold height. However, the touchdown distance of 385 m was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 49 kt was also within acceptable limits.

The touchdown rate was smooth at -142 fpm, indicating a controlled descent and a safe landing. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.0 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt at 270°.

The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, and the headwind component was zero. The total landing distance of 585 m was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.1 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some minor issues that need to be addressed to improve the pilot's performance. With some adjustments to the approach and landing technique, the pilot can achieve an even higher score and improve the overall safety and efficiency of the landing process.
