Arrival Final 1

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 flight began with a departure roll from runway 21 at KSMO Santa Monica Municipal Airport. The aircraft, a Spitfire Mk IX, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 1,506 feet, which was 30% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 109 knots, marking the start of the aircraft's ascent into the sky.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 72°F temperature and a 9-knot headwind from a direction of 220°. The crosswind was minimal, at just 1 knot. The Spitfire Mk IX continued its enroute level cruise, starting 1 mile west of Venice, California, and lasting for 6 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 12 nautical miles.

The enroute climb began overhead Echo Park, California, where the aircraft was at an altitude of 1,524 feet above sea level. Over the next 2 minutes, the Spitfire Mk IX climbed to an altitude of 2,095 feet, an increase of 572 feet, while covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile southwest of Koreatown, California, where the aircraft was at an altitude of 2,091 feet. In just 2 minutes, the aircraft descended to an altitude of 791 feet, a decrease of 1,300 feet, while covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 21 at KSMO Santa Monica Municipal Airport began from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 223.0° at an altitude of 655 feet above ground level and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 21, which was 4,977 feet long. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 97 knots. The touchdown point was 176 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was too fast at 92 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -227 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 70°F temperature and a 10-knot headwind from a direction of 202°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 2,912 feet, which was 59% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 25 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 12 minutes. The aircraft used -1 pound of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 21 at KSMO Santa Monica Municipal Airport in the Spitfire Mk IX
Landing Score 93.07 %
Landing Summary

The Spitfire Mk IX aircraft successfully landed at KSMO Santa Monica Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 93.1%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 223.0° at 2 nautical miles and 655 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 21, which has a length of 4,977 feet.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly too high at 97 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed slightly before touchdown to achieve a more optimal landing. The touchdown point was 176 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilot may have been able to make a more precise touchdown.

The touchdown speed of 92 knots was also slightly too fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further to achieve a more optimal landing. However, the touchdown rate of -227 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot was able to control the descent effectively.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to align the aircraft with the runway centerline during the final approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a wind of 10 knots at 202°. The crosswind was minimal at 4 knots, and the headwind was 10 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.

The total landing distance was 2,912 feet, which is 59% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not excessive given the wind conditions. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft effectively during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed to achieve a more optimal landing.
