Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Landing Summary

First off, congratulations on achieving an aircraft landing score of 84.1%! That is a commendable result and shows great skill in handling the various phases of the landing process.

Let's break down the analysis of your landing performance to see where improvements can be made:

  1. Approach Phase: It is noted that the glideslope alignment was unstable. This could have led to difficulties in maintaining a smooth descent towards the runway. Focus on maintaining a steady approach path to ensure a stable glideslope alignment for a smoother landing.

  2. Landing Phase: The threshold height being above the target suggests that the aircraft was not at the ideal height when approaching the runway threshold. This can affect the touchdown point and require adjustments for a safe landing. Additionally, a very poor landing flare was observed. The landing flare is crucial for a smooth touchdown, so practice and focus on achieving a proper flare for smoother landings.

  3. Touchdown Phase: The touchdown rate was excellent, which is a positive aspect of your landing. However, the touchdown point being 1891 ft beyond the touchdown zone indicates that adjustments are needed to improve accuracy in touchdown positioning. Also, being 26 ft from the centerline suggests the need for better alignment during touchdown.

  4. Rollout Phase: The runway alignment being 38 ft from the centerline in the rollout phase indicates the need for improvements in maintaining runway alignment during rollout. Focus on tracking the centerline for a straight rollout after touchdown.

Overall, while there are areas for improvement identified in each phase of the landing process, it is essential to acknowledge the strengths, such as an excellent touchdown rate. Keep up the good work and continue to practice and refine your landing techniques to achieve even better scores in the future. Remember, with dedication and persistence, you can master the art of landing aircraft with precision and finesse. Good luck on your future landings!
