Next time

Departure

Raise the gear promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, aiming to be up by the gate.

What happened: Gear retraction was left until well after the normal gate at 0 ft agl.

Watch for: Watch gear position against the retraction height gate, not 0 ft agl.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Add power on short final to hold 149 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 103 kt against a target of 149 kt, below reference speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 149 kt down to the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Landing Score 60.51 %
Landing Summary

The YS-11 entered the final approach to runway 34 at KDEW Deer Park Airport from the south on a heading of 360.0° at 4 NM and 659 ft agl; the approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.

At threshold the aircraft maintained a good speed of 114 kt and began the flare, achieving a good touchdown distance of 174 m and a good touchdown speed of 109 kt; the touchdown rate was fair at minus 296 fpm and the threshold height was good.

Touchdown occurred slightly off centreline by 3.5 m, with a total landing distance of 654 m, representing 35 % of the 1,846 m runway.

The rollout alignment was very good.

Minor refinements should focus on reducing the sink rate during flare to bring the touchdown rate closer to the ideal range and tightening the lateral alignment to eliminate the 3.5 m offset, which will further improve an already strong 96.3 % score.
