Top opportunity

Fixing the bounce

Arrival Touchdown

Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 28 at EGQG Longside Airfield, a small airfield located in Scotland. The aircraft, a Sirius, accelerated down the runway, covering 40 meters or 8% of the runway's length before taking off. The liftoff speed was a relatively low 48 knots, which is a testament to the aircraft's efficient design and the favorable local weather conditions.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it encountered a gentle headwind of 3 knots, which helped to reduce the takeoff roll distance. The wind direction was from the northwest, at 301 degrees, resulting in a crosswind component of just 1 knot. The temperature was a pleasant 15 degrees Celsius, which contributed to the smooth and efficient takeoff.

After clearing the airfield, the aircraft began its enroute climb, ascending from an altitude of 138 meters above sea level to 514 meters above sea level. This climb of 376.5 meters was achieved in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb rate was impressive, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude.

As the aircraft continued on its journey, it began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles northwest of Peterhead, a town located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The descent from 514 meters above sea level to 222 meters above sea level was a decrease of 291.8 meters, achieved in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The descent rate was smooth and controlled, demonstrating the pilot's skill and experience.

The final approach to runway 28 at EGQG Longside Airfield was made from the east, heading 286.0 degrees at an altitude of 171.1 meters above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. The approach was made in a headwind of 3 knots, with a crosswind component of just 1 knot.

The landing itself was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 42 knots. The touchdown distance was good, at 148 meters, and the touchdown rate was perfect, at -0.2 meters per second. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had made a precise and controlled approach.

The total landing distance was 247 meters, which is 50% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and experience in controlling the aircraft during the landing phase.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, taking 7 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of -10 kilograms of fuel during the flight, indicating that it was efficiently operated and managed. Overall, the flight was a testament to the Sirius aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's skill and experience.

Landing on runway 28 at EGQG Longside Airfield in the Sirius
Landing Score 93.17 %
Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as Sirius, successfully landed at EGQG Longside Airfield, achieving a high score of 93.2%. The final approach to runway 28 was conducted from the east, with the aircraft heading 286.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 171.1 meters above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 48 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing, as the touchdown distance of 148 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed of 42 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -0.2 meters per second was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 301°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach, allowing the aircraft to maintain its alignment with the runway.

The total landing distance of 247 meters was impressive, accounting for only 50% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly, without requiring excessive runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase.

Overall, the landing of the Sirius aircraft at EGQG Longside Airfield was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The high score of 93.2% reflects the aircraft's performance and the pilot's expertise in navigating challenging weather conditions and landing on a short runway.
