What went well

Lifted off at 69 kt — on the 65 kt rotation target
Airborne in 461 m — 28 % of the runway
Held the centreline on the roll — 2.22 m off at liftoff

What held you back

Arrival Approach — 300 ft gate 29 %, −5.95 points
Pattern Crosswind — Heading 28.0 ° at 0 %, −5.00 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was excessively high at 106 kt at 0 %, Flare profile at 64 %, −3.24 points

Next time

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 65 kt well before the gate.

What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 106 kt against the 65 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 885 m against the 457 m target.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 65 kt at the threshold

See Arrival ApproachArrival 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.

Flight narrative

The Cessna 172 taxied from the parking area to runway 27 at LXGB Gibraltar Airport in less than one minute, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile.

During the departure roll on runway 27, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 70 kt and became airborne after a ground roll of 461 m, which represented 28 % of the available runway. Ambient conditions were 26 °C with a wind from 210° at 12 kt, including a 10 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind component.

The flight entered a left-hand pattern for runway 27, flying less than one nautical mile in 40 seconds to the entry point, then proceeded through the left-hand crosswind leg covering less than one nautical mile in 22 seconds. The downwind turn spanned one nautical mile with a 45° turn angle of 36.0°. The final approach was executed to runway 09 from the west, on a heading of 93.0° at zero nautical miles from the threshold and an altitude of 162 ft AGL.

Landing was made on runway 09, whose length is 1,621 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 106 kt, and the aircraft touched down beyond the midpoint of the runway, using more than 50 % of the available length. Touchdown speed was 68 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 219 fpm, and the touchdown point was offset 14.5 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 25 °C with a wind from 216° at 8 kt, providing a 6 kt cross-wind and a 5 kt tail-wind component. The total landing distance measured 1,165 m, equivalent to 72 % of the runway, and the rollout remained slightly off centreline by 14.7 m.

The rollout concluded the landing phase, after which the aircraft came to a stop on the remaining runway surface.

In total, the flight covered 4 nm, required a duration of 4 (units as reported), and consumed 2 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 09 at LXGB Gibraltar Airport was flown from the west on a heading of 93.0 ° at 0 nm and 162 ft agl. Local weather was 25 °C with wind 8 kt from 216 °, a 6 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt tail-wind component.

At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 106 kt.

Touchdown occurred very long down the runway, using more than 50 % of the available 1 621 m, with a touchdown speed of 68 kt that was too fast. The touchdown rate was fair at minus 219 fpm and the touchdown point was misaligned by 14.5 m from the centreline. Total landing distance was 1 165 m, representing 72 % of the runway.

During rollout the aircraft remained slightly misaligned, deviating 14.7 m from the centreline.

Reduce the threshold speed to a value closer to the appropriate VREF and aim to touch down within the first half of the runway, targeting the standard 300 m (1 000 ft) aim point to improve alignment and distance usage.
