Landing on runway 35 at KAVL Asheville Regional Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 61.09 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at KAVL Asheville Regional Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The pilot's final approach to runway 35 from the southeast, heading 340.0° at 4 nm and 1,234 ft above ground level (agl), was a critical phase of the flight. The aircraft's speed and altitude were well within the target parameters, but the threshold height at 76 ft agl was significantly above the target, indicating a slightly higher-than-desired approach.

Upon landing, the pilot's speed was well below the target, at 46 kn, which necessitated caution to avoid stalling the aircraft. However, the touchdown speed of 37 kn was good, and the touchdown rate of -59 fpm was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was 436 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal landing spot.

The runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 115.1 m from the centreline, which could have resulted in a longer rollout distance and increased the risk of veering off the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kn at 270°, were relatively calm, with a negligible crosswind and headwind. The total landing distance of 1,065 m was 50% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

The runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 114.9 m from the centreline, which could have resulted in a longer rollout distance and increased the risk of veering off the runway. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement, including a more precise approach and a better alignment with the runway centreline during rollout.
