Arrival Approach

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 22 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport and commenced the departure roll, using 312 m which represented 15 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 61 kt. Ambient conditions recorded a temperature of 24 °C, wind from 235° at 14 kt, with a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 12 kt head-wind component.

After takeoff the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern from runway 22, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in 21 seconds.

The subsequent right-hand crosswind leg was completed in less than 1 nm of flight and required 3 seconds.

During the downwind turn the aircraft flew 1 nm while turning to an angle of 121.3° relative to the runway heading.

The downwind leg itself extended 1 nm and was flown in 45 seconds.

The base-leg turn again covered 1 nm, this time aligning the aircraft to an angle of 11.3° to the runway.

For the final approach the aircraft was established on a heading of 234.0° from the north-east, at 0 nm distance and 541 ft above ground level.

Landing on runway 22 was performed on a runway length of 2,133 m; the threshold height at 185 ft agl was noted as excessively over target and the threshold speed was excessively high at 126 kt. Touchdown occurred 465 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 96 kt, a hard vertical rate of minus 455 fpm, and a lateral deviation of 3.4 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 25 °C, wind from 222° at 13 kt, with a 2 kt cross-wind and a 13 kt head-wind component.

The rollout distance measured 1,296 m, representing 61 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment during rollout was offset by 13.3 m from the centreline.

In total the flight covered 5 nm, required a duration of 4 (units as given), and consumed 0 kg of fuel.

Landing Score 51.63 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna 172 approached runway 22 at KLGA from the north-east on a heading of 234.0° at 0 nm and 541 ft AGL in 25 °C temperature with a 13 kt wind from 222° and a 2 kt crosswind component; the final approach was not described as stabilised.

At the threshold the aircraft was at 185 ft AGL, which was excessively over target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 126 kt.

Touchdown occurred 465 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 96 kt, which was excessively fast, and the aircraft descended at a hard rate of minus 455 fpm; the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.4 m from the centreline.

The total landing distance was 1,296 m, representing 61 % of the runway, and the rollout remained slightly misaligned by 13.3 m from the centreline.

To improve the score, reduce the threshold height and speed to meet target values and aim to touch down within the designated zone at a lower speed, which will also lessen the hard descent rate and improve alignment.
