Arrival Final 1

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

Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport (KGKT) took approximately 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 28, utilizing 52% of the 818-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 39 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 26°C, with a wind of 11 knots at 46°, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 7 knots.

The enroute climb phase began overhead Sevierville, Tennessee, where the aircraft ascended from 1,634 feet above sea level to 1,579 feet, an increase of 55 feet in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. Subsequent climbs and level cruises took place, with the aircraft reaching a maximum altitude of 2,961 feet above sea level. The descent phase began 2 miles north of King Airport (TN72), where the aircraft descended from 3,024 feet to 1,722 feet, a decrease of 1,302 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 28 at KGKT Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport from the east was initiated at 1 nm and 694 ft agl, heading 281.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was too high at 60 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 293 m, but the touchdown speed of 50 kt was excessively fast. This resulted in an excellent touchdown rate of -76 fpm, demonstrating good control and precision. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the high touchdown speed.

The total landing distance of 526 m was 34% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.6 m from the centreline, suggesting a slight deviation from the desired path. Overall, the landing performance scored 86.8%, reflecting a good but not exceptional performance, with room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and rollout alignment.
