Landing Score 97.47 %

Landing Summary

The Savage Cub completed the final approach to Schurtz Airport from 1 nm to 1 nm at 1,274 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable: flaps were not set, the aircraft was off the glideslope and off the centreline. Ambient conditions were Temperature 7 °C, Wind 2 kt at 188 °, Crosswind 1 kt and Tailwind 1 kt.

During the threshold and flare the aircraft descended from 47 ft agl to 0 ft agl, a decrease of 47 ft in 10 seconds.

Touchdown occurred at a speed of 36 kt, noted as a little fast, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 108 fpm and a good touchdown point of 228 m down the runway.

The rollout was recorded at an altitude of 4,198 ft asl and covered a distance of 28 m.

To improve the score, ensure that flaps are selected and the glideslope and centreline are captured by the 1,000 ft gate, and manage the approach speed to meet the target VREF rather than a little fast.
