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 departure roll from runway 21 at KSEZ Sedona Airport, a small airport located in Sedona, Arizona, United States. The Cessna 152 aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 60 kt. The takeoff distance was 1,154 ft, which accounted for 23% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 43 °F and a gentle wind of 1 kt blowing from a direction of 34 °.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of KSEZ Sedona Airport. The climb was initiated from an altitude of 5,197 ft above sea level and continued to an altitude of 5,640 ft, an increase of 443 ft in just 1 minute. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nm. The climb was followed by a level cruise, which began 2 miles southwest of the airport and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nm.

As the aircraft approached the end of its flight, it began its final approach to runway 21 at KSEZ Sedona Airport. The approach was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 224.0 ° at a distance of 1 nm from the runway and an altitude of 308 ft above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 5,124 ft. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 60 kt.

However, the touchdown was not entirely smooth. The touchdown point was 432 ft beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was excessively fast at 60 kt. The touchdown rate was also very hard, with a rate of -585 fpm. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 39 ft from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 42 °F and a gentle wind of 1 kt blowing from a direction of 34 °.

The total landing distance was 2,109 ft, which accounted for 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 43 ft from the centreline. Despite the slightly rough landing, the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely. The total flight distance was 7 nm, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5 lbs of fuel during the flight.

Landing Score 86.35 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna 152 aircraft successfully landed at KSEZ Sedona Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The pilot achieved a final approach to runway 21 from the north east, heading 224.0° at 1 nm and 308 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 432 ft beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have misjudged the landing distance.

The touchdown speed of 60 kt was excessively fast, which contributed to a very hard touchdown rate of -585 fpm. This high rate of descent can be uncomfortable for passengers and may also put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 39 ft from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 42 °F and a wind speed of 1 kt at 34°. There was no significant crosswind or tailwind, which made the landing conditions relatively straightforward. However, the pilot still managed to achieve a total landing distance of 2,109 ft, which is 41% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, especially considering the runway length of 5,124 ft.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 43 ft from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs during the rollout. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement, including a faster touchdown speed, a more accurate touchdown point, and better alignment during the rollout.
