Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to stay on the centreline during the ground roll.

What happened: You tracked 281 m right of the runway centreline during the ground roll, and this pattern of drift usually carries forward into a rightward heading deviation during the initial climb, as seen in the 9.2° variation through Climb 1.

Watch for: Heading indicator: hold runway heading through the climb.

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 35 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.

What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 35 ft down to touchdown.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 35 ft to touchdown.

See Arrival Landing

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 flight began with a departure roll from runway 04 at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport. The aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 48 kt, requiring a takeoff distance of 283 m, which is 9% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 28 °C and a wind speed of 5 kt from a direction of 340 °, resulting in a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 2 kt.

After takeoff, the aircraft entered a level cruise, flying overhead RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport in Lapu-Lapu City, Central Visayas, Philippines. This phase of the flight lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nm. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 04, descending from a height of 101 ft above ground level (agl) and heading in a direction of 70.0 ° from the west.

The landing on runway 04 was notable for several factors. The threshold speed was excessively high at 85 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's performance characteristics or the pilot's decision-making. The touchdown point was 695 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was good at 34 kt. The touchdown rate was also smooth at -109 fpm. However, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 204.0 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind or the pilot's alignment during the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at takeoff, with a temperature of 28 °C and a wind speed of 5 kt from a direction of 340 °, resulting in a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 2 kt. The total flight distance was 2 nm, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. The aircraft used 1 kg of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk aircraft successfully landed on runway 04 at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport, but with some notable areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 70.0° at 0 nm and 101 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 85 kt, which may have been a result of the pilot's experience or the aircraft's performance. A higher threshold speed can increase the risk of a tail strike or other issues during the landing. On the other hand, the touchdown speed of 34 kt was good, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and speed effectively.

The touchdown point was 695 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot. This may have been due to the pilot's misjudgment of the aircraft's position or the wind conditions. The runway touchdown position was also excessively misaligned by 204.0 m from the centreline, which can increase the risk of a runway excursion or other issues.

The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 28 °C and a wind speed of 5 kt at 340°. The crosswind was 5 kt, and the headwind was 2 kt, which may have contributed to the pilot's difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the landing.

Overall, while the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft landed safely, there are areas for improvement in terms of threshold speed, touchdown point, and runway alignment. The pilot should work on refining their skills to ensure a more precise and controlled landing.
