What went well

Touched down at -160 fpm — a soft arrival
1.16 G at touchdown — inside band
Rollout held the centreline — 2.67 m off at taxi speed

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, Threshold height at 83 ft agl was significantly above target at 39 %, −1.68 points
Departure Taxi — Taxi Lights at 0 %, −0.67 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 752 m at 68 %, Landing Bounce at 80 %, −0.35 points

Next time

Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Close the throttles further on short final to bring the speed back to 111 kt by the threshold.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 129 kt, 18 kt above VREF, and the flare's sink was arrested only for the rate to build back to 114 fpm before touchdown. Excess energy carried through the flare like this usually shows up again as a bounce on contact.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 111 kt at the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Landing Summary

Aircraft YS-11 Successfully Completes Landing at Wellington International Airport

The YS-11 aircraft achieved a satisfactory landing at Wellington International Airport, with a score of 87.3%. The final approach to runway 34 was initiated from the south, following a heading of 1.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,240 feet above ground level.

Upon entering the final approach, the aircraft established a satisfactory touch down point on the runway, but slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown point was located 326 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The initial approach speed was 129 knots, which is below the recommended threshold speed, suggesting that the aircraft was adequately slow for the landing.

During the landing process, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 114 knots. This is lower than the initial approach speed and suggests a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -159 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, indicating a gentle impact upon touchdown.

A review of the aircraft's runway alignment revealed that it was perfectly aligned with the runway during both the touch down and rollout phases. This suggests that the pilot maintained accurate control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.

Weather conditions at the time of the landing included a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from 0°. However, the aircraft experienced virtually no crosswind component, while it encountered a moderate headwind. Overall, these weather conditions did not appear to pose any significant challenges to the pilot.

The landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,154 meters, which equates to around 64% of the total runway length. The runway rollout alignment was found to be very good, further indicating the pilot's mastery of the aircraft during the landing phase.

Overall, the landing was completed safely and efficiently, despite some minor deviations from the ideal touch down point and distance. The high score achieved suggests that the pilot demonstrated a good standard of technique and control during the landing process.
