1.20 G at touchdown — inside band
Rollout controlled — 49 % of the runway used

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was too high at 154 kt at 58 %, Runway alignment max 21.32 m left at 63 %, −1.15 points
Departure Roll — Runway alignment max 23.85 m right at 24 %, −1.01 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 809 m at 62 %, Touchdown rate was -290 fpm at 75 %, −0.86 points

Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 24 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 125 kt.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 154 kt against a target of 125 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 125 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival 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.

Flight narrative

The MD-83 taxied from the parking area to runway 28L at KPDX Portland International Airport in 5 minutes, covering approximately 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 28L, the aircraft used 1,967 m of runway, representing 59 % of the available length, and lifted off at 173 kt; ambient temperature was 21 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 350°, giving a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.

Climb commenced 1 mile east of Bridgeton, Oregon, with the aircraft ascending from 963 ft asl to 31,706 ft asl, an increase of 30,743 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 127 nm.

A level cruise segment began 8 miles east of CSYF Silva Bay, British Columbia, lasting 4 minutes and traversing 14 nm.

Descent started 2 miles southwest of Inglewood-Finn Hill, Washington, with a reduction from 31,977 ft asl to 2,400 ft asl, a loss of 29,578 ft over 17 minutes and a distance of 109 nm.

The final approach to runway 08L at CYVR Vancouver International Airport was conducted from the west on a heading of 101.0°, at 4 nm and 1,304 ft agl.

Landing on runway 08L, which is 3,027 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 154 kt; touchdown was 400 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 137 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 139 fpm and perfect runway alignment. Local weather reported a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 13 kt from 110°, providing a 2 kt cross-wind and a 13 kt head-wind component.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,522 m, equal to 50 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s centreline alignment was offset by 8.1 m.

Taxi-in to the parking area from the runway required 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 258 nm, lasted 49 minutes, and consumed 2,833 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The MD-83 conducted the final approach to runway 08L at CYVR Vancouver International Airport from the west, tracking a heading of 101.0° at 4 nm and 1,304 ft agl. Local weather was 15 °C with wind 13 kt from 110°, providing a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 13 kt head-wind.

The threshold height was good, while the threshold speed was too high at 154 kt.

Touchdown occurred 400 m beyond the touchdown zone; the touchdown speed was fast at 137 kt and the touchdown rate was smooth at minus 139 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

Total landing distance measured 1,522 m, representing 50 % of the 3,027 m runway, and rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.1 m from the centreline.

Reduce the threshold and touchdown speeds to bring the touchdown point within the designated zone and to lessen the rollout deviation. Adjusting speed management will also help keep the rollout alignment closer to centreline.

Flare

The flare mostly held the target profile. The flare was pumped rather than held: pitch changed direction 5 times on the way down. Touchdown was 809 m past the threshold. One smooth continuous input - chasing the runway with the elevator makes the next correction bigger, not smaller.
