Top opportunity

Shorten the long landing

Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Landing Score 94.83 %
Landing Summary

First of all, congratulations on achieving a commendable aircraft landing score of 94.8%! This is a testament to the skill and proficiency of the pilot during various phases of the landing process.

Let's dive into the analysis of each phase of the landing to identify areas of improvement and commendable aspects:

  1. Approach Phase: The poor descent path above the glideslope limit is a concern as it indicates that the aircraft was not descending in the optimal trajectory. This could be due to factors such as incorrect altitude management or wind conditions. Going forward, ensuring a more precise descent path will be crucial in improving overall landing performance.

  2. Landing Phase: It is commendable that the landing phase had a good threshold height and landing flare. These aspects indicate that the transition from descent to touchdown was well managed, contributing to a smooth and controlled landing experience. Building on these strengths will further enhance landing execution.

  3. Touchdown Phase: While the touchdown rate was noted to be very hard and the speed was slightly above target, it is positive to see that the touchdown distance was within the touchdown zone. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being 1.8m from the centerline is within an acceptable margin. Focusing on reducing the touchdown rate and ensuring target speed will lead to softer landings in the future.

  4. Rollout Phase: It is encouraging to note that the runway alignment was very good during the rollout phase. This suggests that the aircraft was able to maintain a straight path along the runway, enhancing safety and efficiency during the landing rollout.

Overall, while there are areas for improvement such as descent path precision and touchdown smoothness, your exceptional performance in aspects like threshold height and runway alignment demonstrates a strong foundation in landing skills. By addressing the identified areas of improvement and continuing to build on your strengths, you are well on your way to achieving even higher landing scores in the future. Keep up the great work and continue striving for excellence in every landing!
