The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,970 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 472 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 172 taxied to runway 28L at EGCJ Sherburn-In-Elmet Airfield and commenced the departure roll. The takeoff run measured 412 m, representing 67 % of the available runway, and the aircraft lifted off at 65 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a headwind component of 1 kt and no cross-wind.
Climb began overhead South Milford, with the aircraft ascending from 999 ft asl to 3,129 ft asl, a gain of 2,131 ft achieved in 4 minutes while covering 6 nm.
Level cruise was established 1 mile west of Sherburn in Elmet and persisted for 5 minutes, during which 9 nm were flown.
Descent commenced 2 miles south-east of Leeds, reducing altitude from 3,364 ft asl to 2,122 ft asl, a loss of 1,242 ft in 2 minutes over a distance of 4 nm.
The final approach to runway 32 at EGNM Leeds Bradford Airport involved a descent from 1,582 ft agl to 44 ft agl in 142 seconds, with the aircraft meeting the stabilisation gates criteria.
Landing on runway 32 was executed with a threshold speed of 65 kt. Touchdown occurred 467 m down the runway at 54 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 115 fpm and perfect alignment. Local weather at the time was 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt. The total landing distance recorded was 884 m, equivalent to 45 % of the runway length of 1,970 m, and the rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 24 nm, required 16 minutes of flight time, and consumed 7 kg of fuel.
The Cessna 172 approached runway 32 at EGNM Leeds Bradford Airport with an unstable approach at the 1,000 ft gate because the flaps were not set, descending from 1,582 ft agl to 44 ft agl in 142 seconds and receiving a score on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 65 kt, and the flare was executed with the parameters recorded for the subsequent touchdown.
Touchdown occurred 467 m down the runway at a good speed of 54 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 115 fpm and perfect runway alignment; the total landing distance was 884 m, representing 45 % of the 1,970 m runway, in temperature 16 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 1 kt.
Rollout alignment was very good, maintaining centreline tracking to the end of the runway.
Ensure flaps are selected by the 1,000 ft gate to achieve a stabilized approach; with this correction the remaining performance already meets a high standard as reflected by the 97.4 % score.
