Next time

Arrival

Raise the nose more slowly in the flare and stop as soon as the sink is checked; if it balloons, hold the attitude.

What happened: The flare ballooned, with 651 fpm of sink returning after the arrest; a balloon like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown, as it did here at 450 fpm.

Watch for: The runway ahead: the aircraft still sinking gently towards it through the flare, never rising.

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

It was on speed over the threshold, so this was more back pressure than the speed could take: raise the nose more slowly and stop as soon as the sink is checked. Once it has ballooned, hold the attitude and let it settle rather than pushing.

Flight narrative

Departing from Governador Aluízio Alves International Airport (SBSG), the aircraft began its journey on runway 12, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 138 kt after a takeoff distance of 1,037 m, which accounted for 35% of the available runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C, with a negligible wind of 1 kt from a direction of 270°.

As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it traversed a significant vertical distance, increasing from 1,207 ft to 40,974 ft in just 15 minutes, covering a horizontal distance of 96 nm. The climb was followed by a 27-minute level cruise at an altitude of 40,974 ft, during which the aircraft covered 175 nm. Subsequent climbs and level cruises took the aircraft to higher altitudes, with the final cruise phase lasting 97 minutes and covering 766 nm. The descent phase began at a latitude of -7.3158123 and a longitude of -17.576913, with the aircraft descending from 44,971 ft to 1,627 ft in 26 minutes, covering 191 nm.

The final approach to runway 13 at RAF Ascension Island (FHAW) was conducted from the west, with the aircraft touching down 256 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 109 kt. The touchdown rate was slightly hard at -460 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,605 m, accounting for 53% of the available runway. Following a short taxiing period, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 1,278 nm in 186 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2,438 kg.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 13 at FHAW RAF Ascension Island from the west was executed with a heading of 117.0° at 4 nm and 1,377 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was well above the target, reaching 122 kt, which may have been a result of the aircraft's high energy state.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 256 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slightly long touchdown. The touchdown speed of 109 kt was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -460 fpm, which may have contributed to the long touchdown distance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.5 m from the centreline, which could have been a result of the pilot's attempt to compensate for the aircraft's energy state. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, were relatively calm, with no significant crosswind or tailwind component.

The total landing distance of 1,605 m was 53% of the runway length, indicating a relatively long rollout. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.6 m from the centreline, which may have been a result of the pilot's attempt to maintain directional control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 88.7%. However, there were some areas for improvement, including the high threshold speed, long touchdown distance, and slight misalignment during the rollout phase.

The flare wandered off the target profile. The flare ballooned 14 ft agl back up from 1 ft agl above the runway, 523 m in. Touchdown was 680 m past the threshold. It was on speed over the threshold, so this was more back pressure than the speed could take: raise the nose more slowly and stop as soon as the sink is checked. Once it has ballooned, hold the attitude and let it settle rather than pushing.
