Top opportunity

Keep the approach speed on target

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.

Flight narrative

Departing from Cotswold Airport, Kemble, Gloucestershire, England, the Boeing C-17 took to the skies from runway 26, accelerating down the 247-meter stretch to achieve liftoff at a speed of 51 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 1 knot from the west.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it quickly gained altitude, rising from 615 feet above sea level to 791 feet in less than a minute, covering a mere 1 nautical mile. The enroute climb phase was a testament to the aircraft's impressive rate of ascent, with a vertical gain of 176 feet achieved in a remarkably short period. Following the climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining a steady altitude for 2 minutes as it covered 2 nautical miles.

Upon approaching the destination, the Boeing C-17 touched down before the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 43 knots and a rate of descent of -7 feet per minute, both of which were well within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the aircraft came to a stop in a mere 147 meters, or 9% of the runway length, with a flawless runway rollout alignment. The total flight distance of 6 nautical miles was completed in 7 minutes, with the aircraft consuming a remarkably low 0 kilograms of fuel.
