What went well

Touchdown 79 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 1.59 m off the centreline, no bounce
Airborne in 297 m — 48 % of the runway

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 75 %, Threshold speed was a little below target at 54 kt at 84 %, −1.19 points
Departure Taxi — Taxi Lights at 0 %, −0.83 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -208 fpm at 73 %, bank angle up to 4.0 ° at 75 %, −0.75 points

Next time

Departure

Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 61 kt, then rotate.

What happened: You started the rotation at 47 kt, 14 kt before the 61 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 61 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Add power on final to hold 63 kt over the threshold rather than letting speed decay.

What happened: This flight crossed the threshold at 54 kt, below the 63 kt target, then the flare strayed from its target profile, and the touchdown came in firm. Across many flights a slow threshold speed like this tends to be followed by a flare that drifts off profile and a firmer touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 63 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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 aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 28L at EGCJ Sherburn-In-Elmet Airfield in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 28L, the Cessna 172 used 297 m (48 % of runway) to become airborne, lifting off at 65 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 269°, resulting in a 1 kt headwind and no crosswind.

The approach began with a left-hand pattern entry from runway 28L, traveling less than 1 nm in 11 seconds, followed by a left-hand crosswind segment of less than 1 nm in 32 seconds. The downwind turn covered 1 nm at a 72.4° angle to the runway, and the downwind leg extended 2 nm in 51 seconds. The base turn spanned 1 nm at a 37.8° angle, after which the base leg was less than 1 nm in 17 seconds. The final turn was less than 1 nm in 24 seconds, and the final approach descended from 495 ft AGL to 24 ft AGL in 40 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.

Landing was executed on runway 28L (runway length 612 m). The threshold speed was a little below target at 54 kt, and touchdown occurred 77 m down the runway at 50 kt with a firm rate of -316 fpm. Runway alignment was very good, and the local weather remained 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 269°, providing a 1 kt headwind and zero crosswind.

In total, the flight covered 6 nm, lasted 4 minutes, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Cessna 172 entered the final approach to runway 28L at EGCJ Sherburn-In-Elmet Airfield with a descent from 495 ft agl to 24 ft agl completed in 40 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates; local conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 269°, giving a headwind component of 1 kt and no crosswind.

During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, while the threshold speed was a little below target at 54 kt; the descent profile remained consistent with the approach parameters.

Touchdown occurred 77 m down the 612 m runway, with a touchdown speed of 50 kt that was judged good, a firm touchdown rate of minus 316 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment described as very good.

To bring the score closer to perfection, aim to achieve the target threshold speed rather than the slightly low 54 kt, and refine the flare timing to soften the firm rate of minus 316 fpm while preserving the excellent alignment already demonstrated.
