Top opportunity

Fixing the bounce

Arrival Touchdown

Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 28 at EGQE Whiterashes Farm Airstrip. The aircraft, Sirius, required a takeoff distance of 57 meters, which was 7% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 46 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 276 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 3 knots and no crosswind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 28, it demonstrated impressive agility, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in just 32 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind was also executed efficiently, taking less than 1 nautical mile in 21 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was notable for its precise angle to the runway, which was 80.9 degrees, and the distance covered during this phase was 1 nautical mile.

The downwind leg of the pattern was completed in 101 seconds, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft began its final approach to runway 28 from the east, it was at an altitude of 51.2 meters above ground level and heading 273.0 degrees. The landing was executed with precision, with the threshold speed being a little below the target at 46 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 256 meters, and the touchdown speed was also satisfactory at 39 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at -0.2 meters per second.

Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline, the overall performance of the aircraft during the landing phase was impressive. The total landing distance was 411 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight used a total of -12 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 28 at EGQE Whiterashes Farm Airstrip in the Sirius
Landing Score 94.38 %
Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as Sirius, successfully landed at EGQE Whiterashes Farm Airstrip with a high score of 94.4%. The final approach to runway 28 was initiated from the east, heading 273.0° at an altitude of 51.2 meters above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 46 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 256 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 39 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -0.2 meters per second was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the approach or landing technique to achieve a more precise touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots at 276°.

The total landing distance of 411 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a relatively short 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 and was able to bring it to a stop safely and efficiently.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, the slight misalignment of the touchdown position and the below-target threshold speed may require some adjustments in the approach and landing technique to achieve a more precise and efficient landing.
