What went well

Touched down at -353 fpm — a soft arrival
Rollout controlled — 29 % of the runway used
Rollout held the centreline — 1.62 m off at taxi speed

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was excessively high at 92 kt at 0 %, Flare profile at 0 %, −3.93 points
Pattern Crosswind — Heading 27.1 ° at 0 %, −2.50 points
Pattern Base Leg — Heading -42.4 ° at 0 %, −2.50 points

Next time

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final so threshold speed settles at 60 kt instead of carrying it into the flare.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 92 kt, well above the 60 kt target speed, and that excess speed was still showing at touchdown. Crossing the threshold fast usually carries straight through to a fast touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 60 kt on short final.

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 flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 07 at the Falcone–Borsellino Airport (LICJ). The takeoff distance was 480 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 71 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 244 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots. The pilot then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 07, completing the entry in less than 1 nautical mile in 17 seconds.

The pilot then proceeded to complete the left-hand pattern, including a crosswind turn, which took 24 seconds to complete. The downwind turn was made at an angle of 93.1 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 65 seconds to complete. The base leg turn was made at an angle of 37.6 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The base leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 29 seconds.

The final approach to runway 07 was made from the southwest, heading 67.0 degrees at an altitude of 407 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 07, which had a length of 3,000 meters. The threshold height at 71 feet agl was well above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 92 knots.

The touchdown point was 220 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 71 knots, which was too fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -330 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at takeoff.

The total landing distance was 979 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight took 14 minutes to complete, using 3 kilograms of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at Falcone–Borsellino Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 67.0° at 0 nm and 407 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 07, which has a length of 3,000 meters.

However, the landing was not perfectly executed. The threshold height at 71 ft agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than desired when approaching the runway. Furthermore, the threshold speed was excessively high at 92 kt, which is above the recommended speed for landing. This could have put additional stress on the aircraft and its occupants.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 71 kt, which is still too fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -330 fpm, indicating a relatively hard landing. Additionally, the touchdown point was 220 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 4 kt at 245°. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a tailwind of 4 kt, which could have contributed to the aircraft's excessive speed and deviation from the intended landing spot.

Despite the issues with the landing, the aircraft's runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. The total landing distance was 979 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, it was still a safe and controlled touchdown.
