Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 188 kt and hold it there.

What happened: Climb speed was 32 kt fast at 220 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 188 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

After a taxiing period of 11 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles, the aircraft took off, utilizing 42% of the 1,106-meter runway. The liftoff speed of 142 knots was achieved, and the aircraft began its climb into the local weather conditions, which featured a temperature of 30°C and a wind of 8 knots at 260°.

As the aircraft climbed from 1,923 feet above sea level to 37,987 feet, it covered a distance of 81 nautical miles in 13 minutes, achieving an increase of 36,064 feet. The enroute level cruise phase started 2 miles south east of Hawkins County Airport (KRVN), lasting 7 minutes and covering 57 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 38,091 feet to 5,770 feet, a decrease of 32,322 feet in 12 minutes, covering 109 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase near Clifton Forge, Virginia, the aircraft continued its descent, eventually landing on runway 25 at Ingalls Field (KHSP) in Virginia.

The final approach to runway 25 was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft heading 239.0° at 2 nautical miles and 605 feet above ground level. The landing was completed with a touchdown distance of 294 meters, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly above the target, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -566 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 1,009 meters accounted for 59% of the 1,703-meter runway. Following a short taxiing period of 1 minute, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having covered a total distance of 284 nautical miles and utilizing 1,764 kilograms of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 25 at KHSP Ingalls Field from the north east was initiated at 2 nm and 605 ft above ground level, heading 239.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 58 ft above ground level, slightly above the target. However, the threshold speed of 138 kt was too high, indicating a potential for a long rollout.

The aircraft touched down at a speed of 131 kt, which was too fast, resulting in a very hard touchdown rate of -566 fpm. The touchdown distance of 294 m was good, but the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23 °C and a headwind of 9 kt, contributed to the approach and landing. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt.

The total landing distance of 1,009 m was 59% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 91.0%. However, there were opportunities for improvement, particularly in terms of reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed to achieve a smoother and more controlled landing.
