Next time

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 220 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 237 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

Flight narrative

Departing from Locarno Airport's runway 26R, the Tecnam P2008 JC began its takeoff roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 59 kt in a distance of 457 m, which accounted for 57% of the available runway length. The aircraft then climbed away from the airport, taking advantage of a 6 kt headwind that reduced the effective wind component to 0 kt. The local temperature of 28 °C and wind direction of 260° contributed to a smooth and efficient departure.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated its agility and responsiveness, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 69 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed in 40 seconds, showcasing the aircraft's ability to handle the prevailing wind conditions. The pilot then navigated the aircraft through the pattern, executing a series of turns and legs that culminated in a final approach to runway 26R from the east. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 36 kt, with a touchdown distance of 292 m and a rate of -158 fpm, indicating a good touchdown and rollout.

The landing was characterized by a perfect runway touchdown alignment, and the aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with a total landing distance of 384 m, which accounted for 48% of the available runway length. The pilot's skill and attention to detail were evident throughout the flight, as the aircraft used only 1 kg of fuel to cover a total distance of 7 nm, completing the flight in 7 minutes. The overall performance of the Tecnam P2008 JC was impressive, demonstrating its capabilities in a variety of flight regimes and weather conditions.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 26R at LSZL Locarno Airport from the east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 257.0° at 1 nm and 407 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the optimal range, coming in at 64 kt.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 292 m, and the touchdown speed of 36 kt was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -158 fpm was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a headwind of 6 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.

The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 384 m, which accounted for 48% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing performance of the Tecnam P2008 JC was exceptional, with a score of 98.6% reflecting the high level of skill and precision demonstrated by the pilot.
