Top opportunity

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 Summary

The final approach to landing ground 2 miles south east of CEM4 Big Bend Airport Innisfail (Alberta, Canada) was flown from 1 nm to 1 nm at 234 ft agl.

During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft descended from 47 ft agl to 0 ft agl, a decrease of 47 ft in 22 seconds, while remaining 2 miles south east of CEM4 Big Bend Airport Innisfail (Alberta, Canada).

Touchdown occurred at a speed of 64 kt, which was fast, with a perfect touchdown rate of minus 46 fpm. The touchdown point was excessively long, using more than 75 % of the available runway.

The rollout was recorded at an altitude of 3,033 ft asl, covering a distance of 474 ft.

With a score of 54.1 %, focus on reducing approach speed and achieving a more forward touchdown point to keep runway usage within normal limits. Adjusting speed management and aiming for a touchdown within the first quarter of the runway will address the primary deviations.
