Top opportunity

Slow the descent speed

Enroute Descent

Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 17R at the KCOS City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,861 feet, which is 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the 5CO5 Black Hollow Heliport, where the aircraft climbed from 7,116 feet above sea level to 25,012 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,896 feet in 8 minutes, covering 41 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise began 8 miles north of the CO19 Tezak Airport and lasted for 50 minutes, covering 392 nautical miles. The descent started 18 miles south of the KSGU St George Regional Airport and lasted for 14 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 24,998 feet above sea level to 3,263 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,735 feet, covering 75 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 21L at the KLSV Nellis Air Force Base was made from the north-east, heading 219.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,420 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a touchdown distance of 429 feet, which is good. However, the touchdown speed was too fast at 137 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -318 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 32 feet from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.

Landing Score 89.78 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna Longitude aircraft successfully landed on runway 21L at KLSV Nellis Air Force Base, but there were some areas for improvement in the landing performance. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 219.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,420 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 10,048 feet, with a good threshold height.

However, there were some issues with the landing speed. The threshold speed was too high at 139 knots, which is above the recommended speed for a safe landing. Additionally, the touchdown speed was also too fast at 137 knots, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to slow down the aircraft sufficiently before touchdown. The touchdown rate was firm at -318 feet per minute (fpm), which is within the acceptable range.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 32 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 64°F and a light wind of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot, which did not significantly affect the landing performance.

The total landing distance was 1,818 feet, which is 18% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown effectively. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 32 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to the same deviation in alignment during the final approach.

Overall, the Cessna Longitude aircraft performed a safe landing on runway 21L at KLSV Nellis Air Force Base, but there were some areas for improvement in terms of landing speed and alignment. The pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown was good, but there is room for improvement in terms of precision and control during the final approach and rollout phases.
