What went well

Threshold crossed at 54 ft and 121 kt — both inside band
Rollout controlled — 42 % of the runway used
Lifted off at 124 kt — on the 126 kt rotation target

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -552 fpm. at 27 %, g force 0.75 to 1.74 g at 72 %, −1.41 points
Arrival Approach — GPWS warning; 1,000 ft gate 86 %, 500 ft gate 86 %, −0.95 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 51 %, −0.83 points

Next time

Arrival

Reduce power on the approach so you cross the threshold at 114 kt; a balloon almost always comes from carrying too much speed, not flare technique.

What happened: The flare ballooned, with 478 fpm of sink returning after the arrest; balloons like this usually carry through to a firm touchdown, as seen here at 551 fpm.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 114 kt at the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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.

Touchdown was 527 m past the threshold. Hold the attitude and let it settle rather than pushing - a balloon is almost always excess speed, so the fix is on the approach, not in the flare.

Touchdown was 527 m past the threshold. Hold the attitude and let it settle rather than pushing - a balloon is almost always excess speed, so the fix is on the approach, not in the flare.

The stabilisation gates

Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.

Climb commenced overhead Hawthorne, California, with the aircraft ascending from 1,075 ft asl to 45,029 ft asl, an increase of 43,954 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 114 nm.

The first cruise segment began 4 mi south of KDAG Barstow Daggett Airport, California, and continued for 62 minutes, during which 506 nm were flown.

Descent started 4 mi southeast of Crawford, Colorado, with altitude decreasing from 44,416 ft asl to 7,977 ft asl, a loss of 36,439 ft over 30 minutes and a distance of 182 nm.

A brief cruise followed, initiating 1 mi southwest of 18V Platte Valley, Colorado, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.

The next descent began 2 mi north of 18V Platte Valley, Colorado, dropping from 7,980 ft asl to 7,023 ft asl, a reduction of 957 ft in 2 minutes while traveling 6 nm.

A further cruise segment started 1 mi northwest of 7CO3 Lindys Airpark, Hudson, Colorado, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nm.

Final approach to runway 17L at KDEN Denver International Airport was conducted from the north, on a heading of 179.0°, at 4 nm distance and 1,175 ft agl.

Landing on runway 17L, which is 3,660 m long, occurred with a threshold speed slightly above target at 122 kt. Touchdown was recorded 196 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 111 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 332 fpm and perfect runway-alignment. Local weather at the time showed a temperature of 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 269°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,672 m, representing 46 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout was very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a taxi-in that took 13 minutes and spanned 3 nm.

In total, the flight covered 831 nm, required 136 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 1,809 kg of fuel.

Landing Score 87.08 %
Landing Summary

The Bombardier Challenger 350 received a final score of 92.2 % after a final approach to runway 17L at KDEN Denver International Airport from the north, flying a heading of 179.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,175 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’s speed was slightly above target at 122 kt, and the flare was executed with the aircraft crossing the threshold at this marginally high speed while maintaining good threshold height.

Touchdown occurred 196 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 111 kt that was a little fast and a firm touchdown rate of minus 332 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The total landing distance was 1,672 m, representing 46 % of the 3,660 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good. Local weather was 15 °C with wind 1 kt at 269 °, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 0 kt.

Reduce the approach speed to meet the target threshold of 122 kt to eliminate the slight excess. Aim to achieve a touchdown speed closer to VREF to improve energy management and produce a smoother touchdown.
