The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,632 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,380 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 26 at KLCI Laconia Municipal Airport, a small municipal airport in New Hampshire, United States. The P51-D Mustang aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 1,619 feet, which is 29% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 90 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled takeoff.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 92 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 311 degrees. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The pilot initiated the enroute climb 1 mile southwest of the airport, and the aircraft quickly gained altitude, climbing from 1,516 feet above sea level to 1,318 feet in less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 08 at KLCI Laconia Municipal Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 78.0 degrees at an altitude of 696 feet above ground level and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. However, the pilot decided to execute a go-around at an altitude of 1,489 feet above ground level, likely due to a change in weather conditions or a loss of situational awareness.
The landing was eventually made on runway 08, which has a length of 5,632 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was a little below the target speed of 111 knots. The touchdown point was 1,236 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 89 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was also good at -166 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 4,245 feet, which is 75% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 32 feet from the centerline. Despite these minor deviations, the pilot managed to bring the aircraft to a safe stop.
The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel during the flight, indicating a highly efficient operation. Overall, the flight was a successful demonstration of the P51-D Mustang's capabilities, with a smooth takeoff, a controlled climb, and a safe landing.
The aircraft in question is a P51-D Mustang, which successfully landed at KLCI Laconia Municipal Airport. The final approach to runway 08 was initiated from the west, heading 78.0° at an altitude of 696 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The initial landing attempt resulted in an excessively high threshold speed of 249 kt, which is above the target speed. Additionally, the threshold height was also excessively high at 138 ft agl, which is above the target height. This suggests that the pilot may have been experiencing difficulties in controlling the aircraft's descent and speed during the approach.
However, the second landing attempt was more successful, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 111 kt. The touchdown speed of 89 kt was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -166 fpm was good.
Despite the successful landing, there were some minor issues with the touchdown point, which was 1,236 ft beyond the touchdown zone. This indicates that the pilot may have been slightly off-center during the landing. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 23 ft from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 92 °F and a wind speed of 8 kt at 311°. The crosswind was 7 kt, and the tailwind was 4 kt, which suggests that the pilot had to contend with some wind resistance during the landing.
The total landing distance was 4,245 ft, which is 75% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not excessively long considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 32 ft from the centreline, which suggests that the pilot may have been experiencing some difficulties in controlling the aircraft's roll during the landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the threshold speed, threshold height, and touchdown point. The pilot's performance was satisfactory, but there is room for improvement in terms of controlling the aircraft's descent and speed during the approach.
