Next time

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The Cessna 172 taxied to runway 28 at EGSF Peterborough Business Airport and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft accelerated for a take-off distance of 433 m, representing 50 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 67 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a 1 kt wind from 269°, providing a 1 kt head-wind component and no cross-wind.

After departure the pilot entered a left-hand pattern on runway 28. The entry leg covered less than 1 nm in 16 seconds.

The aircraft then proceeded on the left-hand crosswind leg, flying 1 nm in 40 seconds.

During the downwind turn the aircraft described a 73.2° angle to the runway while covering 1 nm; a time for the turn was not recorded.

The downwind leg extended for 2 nm and was completed in 46 seconds.

A base-leg turn followed, turning the aircraft 46.4° toward the runway and traversing 2 nm; the duration of the turn was not specified.

The base leg itself was less than 1 nm long and was flown in 22 seconds.

The final turn to align with the runway was also less than 1 nm and required 27 seconds.

On final approach to runway 28 the aircraft descended from 712 ft AGL to 49 ft AGL in 47 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gates.

Touchdown occurred on runway 28, whose length is 872 m. The threshold speed was 62 kt, and the aircraft touched down 131 m from the threshold at 58 kt, a slightly fast speed. The touchdown rate was firm at minus 374 fpm and the runway alignment was perfect. Weather at landing was 15 °C with a 1 kt wind from 269°, giving a 1 kt head-wind and zero cross-wind.

In total the flight covered 7 nm, required approximately 4 minutes, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Cessna 172 completed the final approach to runway 28 at EGSF Peterborough Business Airport, descending from 712 ft agl to 49 ft agl in 47 seconds and receiving a score on the stabilisation gates.

At threshold the aircraft maintained a good height and a good threshold speed of 62 kt.

Touchdown occurred 131 m down the runway, with a speed of 58 kt that was a little fast, a firm touchdown rate of minus 374 fpm, and perfect runway alignment.

With a score of 91.3 % the landing was solid; reducing the touchdown speed slightly toward the target VREF and moderating the flare to soften the firm rate will further improve consistency.
