Top opportunity

Shorten the long landing

Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a TBM 930, then departed from runway 35 at KSLN Salina Municipal Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,868 feet, which is 15% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 102 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of KSLN Salina Municipal Airport. The climb took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 2,247 feet above sea level to 13,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,761 feet.

The enroute descent started 3 miles northeast of Galva, Kansas, and took 7 minutes to cover a distance of 27 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from 13,010 feet above sea level to 3,620 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,390 feet. The enroute level cruise started 3 miles southeast of Newton, Kansas, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.

The final descent started overhead KS10 Lake Chelan Airport, Chelan, Kansas, and took 2 minutes to cover a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from 3,494 feet above sea level to 2,605 feet above sea level, a decrease of 889 feet.

The final approach to runway 18 at KAAO Colonel James Jabara Airport was made from the north, heading 185.0°, at an altitude of 1,198 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 18, which has a length of 6,077 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was well above the target at 75 knots.

The touchdown point was 382 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 60 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -514 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 112 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.

The total landing distance was 2,194 feet, which is 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 166 feet from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 70 nautical miles, and the flight took 33 minutes to complete, using 188 pounds of fuel.

Landing on runway 18 at KAAO Colonel James Jabara Airport in the TBM 930
Landing Score 66.2 %
Landing Summary

The TBM 930 aircraft successfully landed at Colonel James Jabara Airport (KAAO) with a score of 66.2%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 185.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,198 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 18, which has a length of 6,077 feet.

The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was above the target at 75 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more aggressively, potentially resulting in a smoother touchdown. However, the touchdown point was 382 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilot may have been unable to control the aircraft's descent effectively.

The touchdown speed of 60 knots was reported as good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a safe airspeed during the landing. However, the touchdown rate of -514 feet per minute (fpm) was very hard, which may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially caused a bumpy ride for the passengers.

One of the most significant issues with this landing was the excessive misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 112 feet off the centerline. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to maintain a stable approach path or may have been affected by crosswind or other factors. The runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 166 feet from the centerline, which further highlights the pilot's difficulty in maintaining a stable approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This suggests that the pilot should have had a relatively easy time maintaining control of the aircraft during the approach. However, the presence of a 1-knot crosswind may have still posed a challenge for the pilot, particularly if they were not able to compensate effectively.

Overall, while the TBM 930 aircraft was able to land safely at Colonel James Jabara Airport, the pilot's performance was marred by several issues, including excessive misalignment of the touchdown and rollout positions, a hard touchdown rate, and a threshold speed that was above the target. These issues suggest that the pilot may benefit from additional training or practice to improve their landing skills.
