As close to the book as it gets.
Workable, with clear room to tidy up.
Stabilised approach
Where the wheels went down
Side view — the last 1,991 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,991 m of the 2,111 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,031 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
14.45 points lost
Biggest loss first. Every scored stage counts equally within its phase, and the phases equally in the flight score — so each amount is exact, not an estimate.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at Windsor Airport (CYQG), where the aircraft, an RJ85, accelerated down the 2,111-meter runway, covering 54% of its length before lifting off at a speed of 130 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 345 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,670 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 4,897 feet, a vertical gain of 3,227 feet, in just 2 minutes, covering a horizontal distance of 4 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at CYQG Windsor Airport was initiated from a northeasterly heading, approximately 3 nautical miles from the runway threshold, at an altitude of 1,736 feet above ground level. However, the pilot decided to execute a go-around at an altitude of just 24 feet above ground level, likely due to concerns about the approach.
The aircraft subsequently re-established its approach and landed on runway 25, with the threshold height being excessively over target, but the threshold speed being satisfactory at 132 knots. The touchdown point was located more than 50% of the way down the runway, with a touchdown speed of 116 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -111 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.1 meters.
The landing distance covered 96% of the available runway length, totaling 2,027 meters. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 1 minute.
The total flight distance was 16 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 11 minutes. The aircraft consumed a total of -1,739 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, has been evaluated based on its landing performance at CYQG Windsor Airport. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 246.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,736 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully landed on runway 25, which has a length of 2,111 meters.
Upon evaluation, it was noted that the threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 195 kt. This indicates that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly or may have been unable to maintain a stable approach speed. However, the second landing attempt showed an improvement in threshold speed, which was good at 132 kt.
The touchdown point was found to be very long, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway. This suggests that the aircraft may have been unable to maintain a stable approach speed or may have been unable to flare effectively. The touchdown speed of 116 kt was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -111 fpm. This indicates that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a miscalculation of the runway alignment. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -5°C, with a wind speed of 3 kt at 260°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind was 2 kt.
The total landing distance was 2,027 meters, which is 96% of the available runway. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop safely within the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout after landing.
Overall, the landing performance of the RJ85 at CYQG Windsor Airport was satisfactory, but there were some areas for improvement. The excessively high threshold speed and long touchdown point suggest that the aircraft may require adjustments to its approach speed and flare technique. However, the smooth touchdown rate and good runway rollout alignment indicate that the aircraft is capable of safe and controlled landings.
