Top opportunity

Shorten the long landing

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 flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 28 at KALB Albany International Airport. The takeoff distance was 690 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 131 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, with no crosswind and a headwind of 1 knot.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KALB Albany International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,354 feet above sea level to 22,012 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,658 feet, in just 8 minutes and covering a distance of 39 nautical miles. The enroute descent began overhead NY88 Hickory Acres Airport Fort Plain, where the aircraft descended from 22,012 feet above sea level to 1,060 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,951 feet, in 11 minutes and covering 53 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started 4 miles north of Chittenango, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 28 at KSYR Syracuse Hancock International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 268.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,202 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 28 at KSYR Syracuse Hancock International Airport was successful, with the touchdown point being 763 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 105 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -35 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, with no crosswind and a headwind of 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 1,660 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 110 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 34 minutes, with no fuel consumption reported.

Landing on runway 28 at KSYR Syracuse Hancock International Airport in the Cessna Citation Longitude
Landing Score 84.93 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna Longitude aircraft successfully landed at KSYR Syracuse Hancock International Airport, achieving an overall score of 84.9%. The final approach to runway 28 was initiated from the east, with a heading of 268.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,202 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 105 knots, which was within the target range. The touchdown rate of -35 feet per minute (fpm) was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown point was located 763 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.

The threshold height at 71 feet agl was well above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been higher than expected at the point of touchdown. Additionally, the threshold speed of 126 knots was slightly above the target, which may have contributed to the deviation from the touchdown zone.

The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a combination of factors including wind, pilot error, or aircraft performance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C, wind of 1 knot at 270°, and no crosswind or headwind.

The total landing distance of 1,660 meters was 61% of the available 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 aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled path after touchdown.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, including the touchdown point, threshold height, and threshold speed. However, the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were able to mitigate these deviations, resulting in a safe and controlled landing.
