Arrival Touchdown

Next time

Add power on short final to hold 67 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 56 kt against a target of 67 kt, below reference speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 67 kt down to the threshold.

Departure

Use smooth, coordinated aileron inputs to keep the wings level during the climb.

What happened: Bank angle increased during the second climb stage, excessive for a wings-level climb.

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Flight narrative

The Cessna 172 taxied from the parking area to runway 17 at CYBW Calgary / Springbank Airport in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm on the ground.

During the departure roll on runway 17, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 70 kt and left the runway after a takeoff distance of 1,746 ft, which represented 35 % of the available runway. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 80 °F with wind 18 kt from 160°, a 6 kt cross-wind component and a 17 kt head-wind component.

The climb began overhead CYBW, with the airplane climbing from 4,160 ft asl to 3,994 ft asl, an increase of 166 ft in 1 minute while covering 2 nm.

On final approach to Calgary / Springbank, the aircraft descended from 1 nm out at an altitude of 86 ft agl to the runway threshold.

The descent segment reduced altitude from 44 ft agl to 0 ft agl, a decrease of 44 ft in 2 seconds.

Touchdown occurred at a speed of 58 kt, with a heavy touchdown rate of minus 1,120 fpm and a touchdown distance of 227 ft. Weather at the time of landing was a temperature of 79 °F, wind 18 kt from 160°, a 16 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt head-wind component.

During rollout the aircraft slowed while at an altitude of 3,907 ft asl and traveled a ground distance of 74 ft before exiting the runway.

In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 3 nm, took 2 (units as reported) and consumed 0 lbs of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to Calgary / Springbank Airport was flown from 1 nm to 1 nm at 86 ft agl. Local weather was 79 °F with wind 18 kt from 160 °, a crosswind component of 16 kt and a headwind component of 8 kt.

During the threshold and flare the aircraft descended from 44 ft agl to 0 ft agl, a decrease of 44 ft in 2 seconds.

Touchdown occurred at a speed of 58 kt, noted as a little fast, with a very heavy rate of descent of minus 1,120 fpm. The touchdown point was good at 227 ft from the threshold.

The rollout was recorded at an altitude of 3,907 ft asl and a ground distance of 74 ft.

With a score of 90.3 % the landing was solid; refining the approach speed to the target value and smoothing the flare to achieve a lighter descent rate will further improve consistency.
