Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Essex County Airport (KCDW), taking approximately 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 28, with the aircraft taking off after covering 51% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 421 meters, and the liftoff speed was 108 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 1 knot was present. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Fairfield, New Jersey, and ascending from 1,179 feet above sea level to 4,321 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,142 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The enroute descent started overhead Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey, with the aircraft descending from 4,311 feet above sea level to 3,249 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,062 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 1 mile southeast of Lincoln Park, New Jersey, and ascending from 3,249 feet above sea level to 5,430 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,180 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

The final enroute descent started overhead the Passaic River Seaplane Base (4NJ2) in Rutherford, New Jersey, with the aircraft descending from 5,415 feet above sea level to 620 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,795 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 31 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA), approaching from the southeast and heading 302.0° at 1 nautical mile and 586 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 31 at KLGA was characterized by a touchdown point that was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was excessively fast at 158 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -457 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°, and a crosswind of 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 1,678 meters, which accounted for 79% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.3 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 33 nautical miles, taking 16 minutes, and the aircraft used 258 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The Cessna Longitude aircraft has completed a landing at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA), but the performance was not up to par. The final approach to runway 31 was initiated from the southeast, heading 302.0° at 1 nautical mile and 586 feet above ground level (agl). However, the aircraft struggled to meet the desired threshold height, coming in significantly above the target at 95 feet agl.

Upon landing, the aircraft's speed was excessively high at 164 knots, which is a critical factor in determining the safety and efficiency of the landing. Furthermore, the touchdown point was located very far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available length. This excessive use of runway length is a concern, as it increases the risk of overshooting the runway or encountering obstacles.

The touchdown speed of 158 knots was also excessively fast, which can lead to a hard touchdown and increased stress on the aircraft's landing gear. The touchdown rate of -457 feet per minute (fpm) was particularly hard, indicating a potentially rough landing experience for the passengers and crew.

In addition to the performance issues, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centerline, which can compromise the aircraft's stability and control during the landing roll. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°, did not appear to be a significant factor in the landing performance.

The total landing distance of 1,678 meters was 79% of the available runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This suggests that the aircraft may have been over-extended or that the pilot may have been struggling to control the aircraft during the landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.3 meters from the centerline, which can increase the risk of a runway excursion or other safety incidents.

Overall, the landing performance of the Cessna Longitude at LaGuardia Airport was subpar, with several critical issues that need to be addressed to ensure safe and efficient operations.
