Arrival Touchdown

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

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 208B, then departed from runway 29 at YHBA Hervey Bay Airport. The takeoff distance was 389 meters, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 81 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from 183 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Wondunna, a location in the State of Queensland, Australia. The climb took place from an altitude of 704 feet above sea level to 6,098 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,394 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 3 miles north of Woodgate and lasted for 28 minutes, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles.

The enroute descent started 5 miles southeast of Benaraby, another location in the State of Queensland, Australia.

Landing Summary

The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at YGLA Gladstone Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 293.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,770 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on runway 28, which has a length of 1,656 meters.

Upon examination of the landing, it was noted that the threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 132 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been experiencing some difficulty in slowing the aircraft down during the final stages of the approach. The touchdown point was 270 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilot may have been a bit too aggressive with the landing.

The touchdown speed of 117 knots was also found to be excessively fast, which could have contributed to the aircraft's distance from the touchdown zone. However, the touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute was considered fair, indicating that the pilot was able to control the descent of the aircraft to some extent.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.6 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to a variety of factors, including wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 12 knots at 130°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 11 knots, which may have contributed to the misalignment.

The total landing distance of 1,306 meters was 79% of the runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This suggests that the pilot may have been experiencing some difficulty in slowing the aircraft down during the landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also found to be misaligned by 22.0 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to a variety of factors, including pilot error or wind.

Overall, while the Cessna 208B aircraft was able to land safely at YGLA Gladstone Airport, the landing was not without its issues. The pilot may have benefited from additional training or practice to improve their skills in slowing the aircraft down during the final stages of the approach and landing roll.
