Top opportunity

Keep the approach speed on target

Arrival Landing

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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 10 at KCDW Essex County Airport. The takeoff distance was 487 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 89 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 81 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft climbed to a height of 16,006 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,770 feet from the initial altitude of 1,236 feet. This climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 33 nautical miles.

The enroute climb started overhead Singac, New Jersey, and continued until the aircraft reached its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile south-west of the Herr Mountain Airport in Stanton, New Jersey, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 16,004 feet above sea level to 4,109 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,895 feet, in 5 minutes and covering 21 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south of Emmaus, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 37 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 3,821 feet above sea level to 3,002 feet above sea level, a decrease of 819 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile north of Arden, Delaware, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.

The final descent began 1 mile north of the Mountain Top Airport in Thompson, Pennsylvania, and continued until the aircraft reached its final approach altitude. The final approach to runway 09R at KPHL Philadelphia International Airport was made from the west, heading 75.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 174 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 09R was characterized by a touchdown point that was 321 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 83 knots, which was too fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -275 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 15 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 933 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 119 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 50 minutes. The aircraft used 147 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed on runway 09R at KPHL Philadelphia International Airport, but the landing was not without some issues. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 75.0° at 1 nm and 174 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 106 kt, which is above the recommended speed for a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 321 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant distance. The touchdown speed of 83 kt was also too fast, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touching down. However, the touchdown rate of -275 fpm was fair, suggesting that the pilot was able to control the descent of the aircraft.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.0 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach path. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 21 °C and a wind speed of 5 kt at 15°. The crosswind was 4 kt, and the headwind was 2 kt, which may have contributed to the slight deviation in the approach path.

Despite the issues with the landing, the total landing distance of 933 m was only 29% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft safely to the ground. However, there are some areas for improvement, including reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed, and maintaining a more accurate approach path to ensure that the aircraft lands within the touchdown zone.
