Keep the approach speed on target

Arrival Landing

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

Landing on runway 02 at PAYA Yakutat Airport in the Cessna 208B
Landing Score 91.86 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at Yakutat Airport, with a score of 91.9%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 46.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 02, which has a length of 1,515 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 92 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to make adjustments to reduce the speed before touchdown. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 438 meters, which is a reasonable distance for a Cessna 208B. However, the touchdown speed was too fast at 80 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position.

The touchdown rate was excellent, at -97 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the high touchdown speed. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 8°C, wind at 6 knots from 10°, and a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.

The total landing distance was 840 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. This is a reasonable distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there are areas for improvement, such as reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed.
