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

The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Baron 58P, then departed from runway 05 at KLWA South Haven Area Regional Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,709 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 95 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of KLWA South Haven Area Regional Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,156 feet above sea level to 1,710 feet above sea level, an increase of 554 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent 1 mile southwest of South Haven, Michigan. The descent from 1,706 feet above sea level to 1,200 feet above sea level, a decrease of 506 feet, took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles southwest of KLWA South Haven Area Regional Airport and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 28 at KBEH Southwest Michigan Regional Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 271.0° at an altitude of 159 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28, which had a length of 5,981 feet. The threshold height at 69 feet above ground level was above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 102 knots.

The touchdown point was 174 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 92 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -312 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 11 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 69°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots.

The total flight distance was 21 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 10 minutes. The aircraft used 34 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 28 at KBEH Southwest Michigan Regional Airport in the Beechcraft Baron 58P
Landing Score 89.74 %
Landing Summary

A comprehensive report of the aircraft landing is as follows:

The Baron 58P successfully landed on runway 28 at KBEH Southwest Michigan Regional Airport, but with some deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the east and was heading at 271.0° at 0 nm and 159 ft above ground level (agl).

The landing performance, however, revealed some areas for improvement. Upon examination of the data, it was found that the threshold height at 69 ft agl was above the target height, which may indicate a slightly higher-than-optimal approach. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 102 knots was significantly above the target value, indicating that the pilot might have taken more time to flare the aircraft or experienced a bit too much airspeed on final approach.

The touchdown point was located 174 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which is not ideal as it poses potential risks of extending beyond the designated runway area. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 92 knots, although a little fast, was likely a direct result of not fully flare the aircraft, which would have resulted in a smoother deceleration.

One of the notable aspects of the landing was the high rate of descent of -312 fpm. Typically, it is desired for the approach and landing to have a rate of descent close to the calculated value based on aircraft configuration and weight, but this is not as crucial as maintaining the correct speed and distance from the aircraft's centerline.

Also, it's worthy of note, that runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 ft to the centreline. In an ideal scenario, the aircraft should land as closely to the centreline as possible to minimize the risk of veering off the runway.

The local weather conditions on the day of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 77°F and a relatively calm wind of 3 kt at 69°. Despite these favorable conditions, the pilot could have taken steps to optimize the touchdown performance.

To sum up, although the Baron 58P landed safely on runway 28 at KBEH Southwest Michigan Regional Airport, there were areas where the pilot could have performed better, such as lowering the threshold height, reducing the touchdown speed, maintaining the correct touchdown point, achieving a smoother rate of descent and keeping the aircraft centered on the runway.
