The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 74 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 31 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) in New York. The takeoff distance was 494 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 119 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead LaGuardia Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,050 feet above sea level to 5,562 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,513 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The climb was a steep one, but the aircraft was able to achieve the desired altitude quickly.

After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started overhead Borough Park in New York. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 5,562 feet above sea level to 286 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,276 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The descent was also steep, but the aircraft was able to maintain control and navigate to the desired altitude.

As the aircraft approached the airport, it began its final approach to runway 31 from the southeast, heading 300.0 degrees at an altitude of 258 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.

The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 132 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown distance was good, at 287 meters, but the touchdown rate was very hard, at -572 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took just 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 33 nautical miles, and the flight used 198 kilograms of fuel. The total landing distance was 699 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned, by 9.5 meters from the centerline, but overall, the flight was a successful one.

Landing on runway 31 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport in the Cessna Longitude

Landing Score 88.23 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Longitude successfully landed on runway 31 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 300.0° at 0 nm and 258 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed at a speed of 132 kn, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 287 m was considered good, indicating a well-executed landing. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable approach and aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kn from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 kn each, which likely contributed to the smooth landing.

Despite the good overall performance, there were some areas for improvement. The touchdown rate was very hard, at -572 fpm, which may indicate that the pilot could have applied a more gradual descent. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.5 m from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase.

Overall, the Cessna Longitude's landing on runway 31 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there are opportunities for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment.
