What went well

Touched down at -127 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 296 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 0.79 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was well above target at 105 kt at 71 %, −0.60 points
Departure Climb 3 — climb speed 124 kt against 145 kt at 86 %, −0.47 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -127 fpm at 94 %, −0.09 points

Next time

Departure

Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 145 kt.

What happened: Climb speed was 124 kt against a target of 145 kt, running 21 kt slow through the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 145 kt.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 89 kt before crossing the threshold.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 105 kt, 16 kt above the 89 kt target.

Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 89 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

Landing Summary

The Legacy Analog IFD5 Steering aircraft approached runway 09 at KCID from the west on a heading of 91.0° at 4 nm and 1,408 ft agl, with a final-approach score of 99.5 %. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.

At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 105 kt. Touchdown distance was good at 294 m and touchdown speed was good at 92 kt, while touchdown rate was excellent at minus 80 fpm.

The aircraft touched down slightly misaligned by 3.1 m from the centreline.

Total landing distance was 771 m, representing 30 % of the 2,613 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.

Minor refinement of centreline tracking during the final seconds before touchdown would bring the touchdown point within tighter tolerances, further improving an already high-scoring landing.
