Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Flight narrative

The aircraft taxied to runway 28 at KGKT Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport and commenced the departure roll, achieving a takeoff distance of 842 m which represented 54 % of the runway. Liftoff occurred at 101 kt. Ambient conditions were 27 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 229°, including a 4 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.

During the climb the aircraft passed overhead Sevierville, Tennessee, ascending from 1,936 ft asl to 3,066 ft asl - a gain of 1,130 ft - in 1 minute while covering 4 nm.

Level cruise began 4 miles west of Sevierville and continued for 4 minutes, during which 16 nm were flown.

The final approach to runway 23L at KTYS McGhee Tyson Airport was executed from the north-east on a heading of 222.0° at 4 nm and 1,552 ft agl.

Landing on runway 23L, whose length is 2,625 m, occurred with a threshold height of 57 ft agl that was slightly above target and a threshold speed of 126 kt. The touchdown point was 522 m beyond the touchdown zone, the aircraft touched down at 104 kt, and the vertical speed was minus 94 fpm. Runway-touchdown alignment was perfect.

Landing Summary

The Cirrus Vision SF50 performed a final approach to runway 23L at KTYS McGhee Tyson Airport from the north-east, maintaining a heading of 222.0° at 4 nm and 1,552 ft agl. Local weather reported a temperature of 25 °C, wind 6 kt from 210°, with a 1 kt crosswind component and a 6 kt headwind.

At the threshold the aircraft crossed at 57 ft agl, which was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was recorded at 126 kt, noted as excessively high.

Touchdown occurred 522 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 104 kt, described as too fast. The vertical rate at touchdown was -94 fpm, rated excellent, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,617 m, representing 62 % of the runway length, and runway rollout alignment was very good.

Reduce the approach and touchdown speeds to bring the threshold speed within target and keep touchdown speed below the excessive value recorded. Aim to achieve touchdown within the prescribed zone to improve landing distance utilization.
