What went well

Touched down at -123 fpm — a soft arrival
1.18 G at touchdown — inside band
Rollout held the centreline — 0.80 m off at taxi speed

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was excessively high at 158 kt at 10 %, Flare profile at 70 %, −1.25 points
Departure Taxi — peak taxi speed 38 kt at 62 %, −1.01 points
Arrival Touchdown — Speed at touchdown 150 kt at 20 %, Landing Bounce at 80 %, −0.96 points

Keep the approach speed on target

See Arrival Landing

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

Flight narrative

Departing from McGhee Tyson Airport (KTYS) in Alcoa, Tennessee, the aircraft began its journey on runway 05R. With a local temperature of 16 °C and a wind of 19 kt at 50 °, the aircraft took off with a liftoff speed of 129 kt. The takeoff distance of 709 m, which accounted for 27% of the runway, was a testament to the aircraft's efficient performance.

As the aircraft climbed to 25,473 ft, it covered a distance of 34 nm in 6 minutes, demonstrating its ability to efficiently gain altitude. The enroute climb phase was followed by a series of level cruises, with the first one starting 8 miles southwest of Newport, Tennessee, and lasting 3 minutes. The aircraft then began its descent from 25,500 ft to 7,055 ft, a decrease of 18,445 ft in 12 minutes, covering 74 nm. This was followed by another level cruise, this time starting 2 miles north of Boger City, North Carolina, and lasting 5 minutes. The aircraft then began its final descent, from 6,717 ft to 2,270 ft, a decrease of 4,447 ft in 5 minutes, covering 20 nm. The final level cruise started 3 miles west of Wilgrove Charlotte (8A6) and lasted 11 minutes, covering 38 nm.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 36R at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT), with a heading of 356.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,262 ft agl. The landing was completed with a touchdown point 223 m beyond the touchdown zone, and a touchdown speed of 150 kt, which was slightly excessive. The touchdown rate was smooth at -116 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 m from the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,459 m, which accounted for 55% of the runway, was a good indication of the aircraft's braking performance. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in 1 minute. The total flight distance was 223 nm, and the aircraft used 754 kg of fuel, with a total flight time of 49 minutes.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 36R at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport from the south was initiated at 4 nm and 1,262 ft above ground level, heading 356.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 158 kt, indicating a potential for a longer landing distance.

The aircraft touched down 223 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 150 kt, which was also excessively fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -116 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance. The total landing distance was 1,459 m, accounting for 55% of the runway length.

Despite the slightly misaligned touchdown, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of control and precision during the rollout phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14 °C and a 9 kt wind at 40°, contributed to a relatively calm environment. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 6 kt each, which may have helped to reduce the impact of the slightly misaligned touchdown. Overall, the landing performance scored 86.2%, indicating a good but not exceptional landing.
