What went well

Touchdown 320 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 2.60 m off the centreline, no bounce
Rotated at 54 kt — on the 52 kt rotation target

What held you back

Arrival Approach — 300 ft gate 71 %, −3.17 points
Pattern Crosswind — Heading -18.8 ° at 8 %, −2.76 points
Pattern Downwind — Heading 15.1 ° at 32 %, Average altitude 1,295 ft agl at 45 %, −2.45 points

Next time

Arrival

Add power on short final to recover 65 kt by the threshold, then hold that speed through the flare.

What happened: Crossing the threshold at 58 kt against the 65 kt target usually leaves too little energy for the flare, and the sink that then returns usually carries through to a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 65 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

Departing from Locarno Airport (LSZL), the Tecnam P2008 JC began its takeoff roll on runway 08L, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 56 kt in a distance of 570 meters, which accounted for 71% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 28 °C and a light wind of 2 kt from 217°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand traffic pattern, it maintained a steady pace, completing the pattern entry in 33 seconds and covering a distance of 1 nm. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg was executed efficiently, with the aircraft covering less than 1 nm in 20 seconds. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, which required a 45-degree angle to the runway, and subsequently completed the downwind leg, covering a distance of 4 nm in 179 seconds. The base leg turn was executed smoothly, with the aircraft maintaining a 45-degree angle to the runway, and the final approach was made from the west, at a heading of 71.0° and an altitude of 310 ft above ground level.

The landing on runway 08L was executed successfully, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 33 kt and a distance of 318 meters. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -145 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 12 nm, covering a distance of 9 nm in the air and using 1 kg of fuel. The flight was completed under favorable weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a light wind of 3 kt from 230°.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 08L at LSZL Locarno Airport from the west was executed with a heading of 71.0° at 1 nm and 310 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 58 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 318 m, and the touchdown speed of 33 kt was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was smooth at -145 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a light wind of 3 kt at 230°, contributed to a relatively stable approach and landing.

The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 93.8%. The slight deviation in threshold speed was the only notable deviation from the optimal landing parameters. The aircraft's ability to maintain a smooth touchdown rate and good runway alignment was commendable, given the favorable weather conditions.
