Arrival Approach

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

The Cessna 172 taxied to runway 10 at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport and commenced the take-off roll. The aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 614 m, representing 28 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 82 kt. Ambient conditions were 22 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 203°, a 3 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt tailwind component.

During the climb phase the pilot entered a left-hand pattern from runway 10, covering less than 1 nm in 13 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg also spanned less than 1 nm, taking 35 seconds. The downwind turn was 1 nm long with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees measured at 67.2 °. The downwind leg again was under 1 nm and required 13 seconds.

The approach began with a final approach to runway 28 from the east, heading 263.0° at 0 nm and 360 ft agl. Local weather at the time was 20 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 212°, a 3 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind component.

A controlled descent was executed from 863 ft agl to 286 ft agl in 23 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates during this segment.

Landing was achieved on runway 28, whose length is 2,288 m. The threshold height at 198 ft agl was noted as excessively over target and the threshold speed was excessively high at 106 kt. Touchdown occurred beyond the midpoint of the runway, using more than 50 % of the available length, with a touchdown speed of 64 kt that was considered fast. The touchdown rate was minus 86 fpm and the touchdown point was misaligned by 9.6 m from the centreline.

In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 5nm, taking 4, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 21L at Ardmore Airport was flown from the north-east on a heading of 246.0° at 2 nm and 418 ft agl. During the approach the aircraft descended from 605 ft agl to 32 ft agl in 56 seconds and later from 96 ft agl to 93 ft agl in 1 second, with the flight scoring on the stabilisation gates.

At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 60 kt. The touchdown point was 127 m down the runway, meeting the expected distance from the threshold.

Touchdown occurred at a speed of 55 kt, noted as a little fast, with a fair touchdown rate of minus 283 fpm. The aircraft landed slightly misaligned by 5.3 m from the centreline.

The score of 67.3 % suggests the landing was acceptable but could be refined; reducing the touchdown speed and improving alignment through a more precise flare will help bring the performance closer to optimal.
