Rollout controlled — 46 % of the runway used
Rollout held the centreline — 4.27 m off at taxi speed

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -285 fpm at 75 %, Touchdown distance was 590 m at 85 %, −0.52 points
Arrival Approach — GPWS warning; 1,000 ft gate 100 %, 500 ft gate 86 %, −0.48 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 85 %, Threshold speed was slightly above target at 131 kt at 89 %, −0.46 points

Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 8.4 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 120 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.

What happened: Crossing the threshold at 131 kt, 11 kt above 120 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 120 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Flare 84.59The flare mostly held the target profile. Crossing the threshold 11 kt above target, the flare took all the sink out 7 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft then dropped the rest of the way, 369 fpm of sink coming back. Touchdown was 590 m past the threshold. Hold the attitude and let it settle rather than pushing - that excess speed is what turns a normal flare into a balloon, so the fix is on the approach, not in the flare.

Flight narrative

The flight departed from RAF Ascension Island, commencing its takeoff roll on runway 13. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 142 kt, clearing the runway threshold at 1,077 m, which represented 35% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17 °C and a gentle tailwind of 1 kt.

As the aircraft climbed to its enroute level, it traversed a significant altitude increase of 43,435 ft over a distance of 175 nm, reaching a cruising altitude of 44,634 ft. The climb phase was completed in 27 minutes. The aircraft then entered a prolonged enroute level cruise, covering a distance of 247 nm over 31 minutes. Subsequent descent and climb phases were interspersed with further enroute level cruises, with the aircraft eventually beginning its descent towards Lungi International Airport in Sierra Leone. The final approach was conducted from the east, with the aircraft aligning with runway 30. The landing was executed at a threshold speed that was slightly too high, resulting in a touchdown point 162 m beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was also a little fast, but the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centreline.

The aircraft taxied to the parking area after landing, completing the flight in 142 minutes. The total flight distance was 1,072 nm, with the aircraft consuming 2,278 kg of fuel. The landing distance of 1,497 m represented 47% of the runway's length, and the runway rollout alignment was satisfactory. Overall, the flight demonstrated a high degree of precision and control, with the aircraft navigating through various phases of flight with minimal deviations from planned parameters.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 30 at GFLL Lungi International Airport was conducted from the east, aligning with the heading of 287.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,338 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the desired level at 131 knots, indicating a need for adjustment in the approach configuration.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was located 162 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 111 knots was a bit faster than the recommended rate. The touchdown rate of -236 feet per minute was fair, but could be improved upon. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.3 meters, which may have contributed to the slightly off-target touchdown point. Local weather conditions were calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot at 270°.

The total landing distance of 1,497 meters was 47% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 95.0% achieved. While there were some areas for improvement, the pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
