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 10 at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport and commenced the departure roll, using a takeoff distance of 223 m which represented 10 % of the runway. Liftoff was achieved at 60 kt. Ambient conditions were 19 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 218°, including a 3 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt tailwind.

During the climb the aircraft departed the overhead area of TNCM, ascending from 532 ft asl to 1,554 ft asl - a gain of 1,022 ft - in 1 minute while covering 2 nm.

Level cruise began 1 mile west of Marigot and was maintained for 2 minutes, during which the airplane travelled 2 nm at a constant altitude.

The descent started 1 mile north-west of TNCM, with the aircraft descending from 1,301 ft asl to 306 ft asl, a loss of 995 ft, over a period of 2 minutes and a distance of 3 nm.

Final approach to runway 28 was executed from the east, initially at a heading of 258.0° and an altitude of 288 ft agl. The approach continued with a further descent from 500 ft agl to 196 ft agl in 34 seconds, and the aircraft was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.

Landing was made on runway 28, whose length is 2,288 m. The threshold height at 144 ft agl was noted as excessively over target and the threshold speed was excessively high at 83 kt. Touchdown occurred beyond the midpoint of the runway, using more than 50 % of the available length. The aircraft touched down at 48 kt with a touchdown rate of minus 25 fpm, and the touchdown point was laterally displaced by 13.1 m from the centreline. Weather at the time remained 19 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 218°, a 3 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.

In total the flight covered 9 nm, required 7 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.

Landing Score 55.83 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna 172 approached runway 21L at NZAR Ardmore Airport on a final from the north-east, tracking a heading of 226.0° at 0 nm and 175 ft agl. The aircraft descended from 577 ft agl to 24 ft agl in 45 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates, achieving a final approach score of 60.9 %.

At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 60 kt, indicating the aircraft met the expected parameters for the flare initiation point.

Touchdown occurred 42 m down the runway at a speed of 58 kt, which the data describes as a little fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -533 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 4.0 m from the centreline.

To improve the score, focus on moderating the flare to reduce both speed and vertical rate at touchdown, and refine the final alignment to keep the touchdown point within a tighter centreline tolerance.
