The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 31 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) in New York. The takeoff distance was 626 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 127 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead LaGuardia Airport. The climb took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,076 feet above sea level to 4,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,934 feet. The enroute level cruise then began overhead Ridgefield Park in New Jersey, lasting 4 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles.

The enroute descent started overhead Kensington in New York and took 4 minutes to complete, during which the aircraft descended from 3,993 feet above sea level to 211 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,781 feet. The descent covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 31 at LaGuardia Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 301.0° at an altitude of 191 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 31 was characterized by a touchdown point that was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was 101 knots, which was considered good, but the touchdown rate was fair at -203 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 235°.

The total landing distance was 1,314 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 32 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 12 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -204 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 31 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport in the Cessna Longitude

Landing Score 86.68 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Longitude aircraft successfully landed on runway 31 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, achieving an overall score of 86.7%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 301.0° at 0 nm and 191 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, but there were a few areas for improvement.

One of the notable issues was the threshold speed, which was too high at 142 kn. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to maintain a higher speed than necessary during the approach, potentially leading to a longer landing distance. Additionally, the touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a shorter landing distance.

On a positive note, the touchdown speed of 101 kn was good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a safe and controlled speed during the landing. The touchdown rate of -203 fpm was fair, suggesting that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's descent effectively. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path.

The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 2 kn at 235°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 kn, and the headwind was even weaker at 1 kn. These conditions would have made the landing relatively straightforward.

The total landing distance of 1,314 m was 62% of the available runway, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were a few areas for improvement, particularly with regards to the threshold speed and touchdown point. With some adjustments to the approach and landing technique, the pilot may be able to achieve an even higher score in the future.
