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.

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft successfully landed at LFRD Dinard-Pleurtuit-Saint-Malo Airport, but the landing was not without some issues. The final approach to runway 17 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 166.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,588 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 1,991 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the target. The touchdown speed of 65 knots was slightly above the recommended speed, indicating that the pilot may have been a bit too aggressive during the landing. The touchdown rate of -350 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft was not excessively slow or fast during the touchdown.

The threshold height at 133 feet agl was excessively above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 78 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been experiencing some difficulties in controlling the aircraft's descent and speed during the final approach. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 24 feet from the centreline, which could have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a miscalculation of the runway alignment.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 269°. The crosswind was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind was negligible at 1 knot. Despite the favorable weather conditions, the pilot still struggled to achieve a precise landing.

The total landing distance of 5,169 feet was 72% of the runway length, which is a relatively long distance. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 68 feet from the centreline, indicating that the pilot may have been experiencing some difficulties in controlling the aircraft's direction during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was successful, it was not without some issues, and the pilot could benefit from further training and practice to improve their skills.
