Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 33 at PACD Cold Bay Airport from the south east was executed with a heading of 339.0° at 4 nm and 1,317 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was well above the target, reaching 91 kt, which may have been a result of the 6 kt headwind and 3 kt crosswind. The wind conditions, with a temperature of 1 °C and a wind speed of 7 kt at 310°, were relatively calm.

The aircraft touched down 493 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 84 kt, which was a little fast. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was excellent at -54 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the pilot's attempt to compensate for the crosswind. The total landing distance was 1,199 m, accounting for 39% of the runway length.

During the rollout phase, the aircraft remained slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.2 m. Despite this, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 87.5%. The pilot's ability to maintain control and navigate the aircraft through the challenging wind conditions was commendable, and the landing was executed safely.

Flare
65.6 %
The flare wandered off the target profile. The flare took all the sink out 22 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft then dropped the rest of the way, 259 fpm of sink coming back. Touchdown was 922 m past the threshold. Hold the attitude and let it settle rather than pushing - a balloon is almost always excess speed, so the fix is on the approach, not in the flare.
