Arrival Final 1 — GPWS warning; bank angle up to 7.0 ° at 89 %, −0.09 points

Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.1 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Hold the approach speed back toward 45 ft with power and let the aircraft descend to the normal flare band before rounding out.

What happened: The flare began early at 69 ft, well above the normal band, and the aircraft touched down fast at 140 kt against a vref of 118 kt. An early flare like this usually carries extra speed through to touchdown rather than bleeding it off.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare within the normal band near 45 ft.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 22L at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,394 meters, which was 40% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a tailwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Romulus, Michigan, and climbing from an altitude of 1,684 feet above sea level to 25,815 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,131 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.

The enroute climb was followed by a brief level cruise, which started 21 miles south east of Port Stanley, Ontario, Canada, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 13 miles south east of Port Rowan, Ontario, Canada, and descending from 25,848 feet above sea level to 4,083 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,765 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 79 nautical miles.

The descent was followed by another level cruise, which started 1 mile south west of Town Line, New York, United States, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles east of NK87 Merkle Airport Clarence Center, New York, United States, and descending from 4,153 feet above sea level to 1,717 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,436 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 23 at Buffalo Niagara International Airport was made from the north east, with a heading of 224.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 977 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 23, which had a length of 2,308 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 144 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 373 meters, but the touchdown speed of 140 knots was fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -359 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 219 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 6 knots and no crosswind. The total landing distance was 1,294 meters, which was 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.

The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 244 nautical miles, and the flight took 58 minutes. The aircraft used 1,785 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 23 at KBUF Buffalo Niagara International Airport in the Avro RJ85
Landing Score 94.23 %
Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at KBUF Buffalo Niagara International Airport, achieving a score of 94.2%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 224.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 977 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing on runway 23, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the threshold speed was found to be too high at 144 knots, suggesting that the pilots may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. The touchdown distance of 373 meters was deemed good, but the touchdown speed of 140 knots was considered fast, which may have resulted in a firm touchdown rate of -359 feet per minute (fpm).

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a miscalculation of the landing distance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 219°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly high touchdown speed.

The total landing distance of 1,294 meters was 56% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from optimal performance.
