Next time

Work on the flare

See Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 18C at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport from the north was initiated at 1 nm and -4 ft agl, heading 179.0°. The aircraft maintained a stable descent throughout the approach, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 56 kt, indicating a slight delay in the touchdown process.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a good touchdown distance of 405 ft, and a touchdown speed of 54 kt was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -278 fpm was only fair, suggesting a slightly higher than ideal rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 37 ft from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a miscalculation of the landing distance.

The aircraft's performance during the rollout phase was satisfactory, with the pilot successfully bringing the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. Overall, the landing was scored 87.2%, reflecting a good but not outstanding performance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 47 °F and a wind speed of 0 kt at 319°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
