What went well

Touched down at -66 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 1.32 m off the centreline, no bounce
Flare on profile — 100 %

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was a little below target at 40 kt. at 0 %, Touched down 26 m short of the threshold, so it was never crossed in the air. at 0 %, −4.19 points
Arrival Approach — 300 ft gate 86 %, −1.19 points
Departure Roll — Takeoff Bounce at 80 %, −0.50 points

Next time

Departure

Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 42 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.

What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Add power on approach to hold the speed back up to the gate target before continuing the descent.

What happened: Being slow at the stabilisation gate usually carries through to the threshold, which was crossed at 40 kt against the 44 kt target. Arriving slow like this usually leaves the flare short of energy, and touchdown here came in 239 m short of the 265 m aim point.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 44 kt on short final.

See Arrival ApproachArrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

Everything the flare is measured against - the profile, the crossing height, the aim point - is referenced to a threshold this landing never reached, so read the numbers below as what happened short of the runway, not on it. Landing short is the fault to fix before anything about the hold-off is worth judging.

The stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.

Flight narrative

The Savage Cub taxied to runway 29 at KSVE Susanville Municipal Airport and commenced its takeoff roll, covering 192 m which represented 16 % of the available runway; liftoff was achieved at 45 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind from 226° at 3 kt, a cross-wind component of 3 kt and no head-wind.

Climbing out over Johnstonville, California, the aircraft rose from 5,163 ft asl to 6,039 ft asl, gaining 875 ft in 2 minutes while traversing 3 nm.

The first cruise segment began 1 mile south of Johnstonville and continued for 8 minutes, during which the airplane covered 12 nm at level flight.

A second climb started 8 miles southeast of Janesville, California; altitude increased from 6,420 ft asl to 6,975 ft asl, an ascent of 555 ft accomplished in 2 minutes over a distance of 2 nm.

The subsequent cruise phase originated 8 miles west of H37 Herlong, California, lasting 12 minutes and encompassing 16 nm of level flight.

For the final approach to runway 33 at CA11 Mc Cloud Airstrip, the aircraft approached from the south on a heading of 344.0° at 1 nm and 495 ft agl.

Landing was executed on runway 33, whose length is 339 m; the threshold speed was slightly below target at 40 kt, touchdown occurred beyond 75 % of the runway with a speed of 36 kt, a vertical speed of minus 5 fpm and perfect alignment. Weather at the field was 16 °C, wind 3 kt from 226°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind. The total landing distance recorded was 427 m, equal to 126 % of the runway.

Rollout proceeded with the aircraft remaining perfectly aligned on the runway centreline until it came to a stop.

In summary, the flight covered a total of 34 nm, required 25 minutes of elapsed time and consumed 0 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 33 at CA11 Mc Cloud Airstrip in the Savage Cub
Landing Score 82.27 %
Landing Summary

The Savage Cub entered the final approach to runway 33 at CA11 Mc Cloud Airstrip from the south on a heading of 344.0° at 1 nm distance and 495 ft agl, with ambient temperature 16 °C, wind 3 kt from 226°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind component.

At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and the threshold speed was a little below target at 40 kt.

Touchdown occurred excessively long, using more than 75 % of the available 339 m runway; the touchdown speed was a little fast at 36 kt, while the vertical rate was perfect at minus 5 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Total landing distance measured 427 m, representing 126 % of the runway length.

During rollout the aircraft maintained perfect runway alignment.

To convert the strong overall score of 91.8 % into an even tighter performance, the crew should aim to achieve touchdown nearer the 300 m (1 000 ft) aim point and modestly reduce the touchdown speed toward the target value. These adjustments will shorten the landing roll while preserving the excellent alignment already demonstrated.
