Landing on runway 26 at 2SC5 Ridgewood Air Airport in the TBM 850

Landing Score 97.38 %

Landing Summary

The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at 2SC5 Ridgewood Air Airport, achieving a high score of 97.4%. The final approach to runway 26 was conducted from the east, with the aircraft heading 254.0° at 1 nautical mile and 629 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.

The landing was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 83 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a steady and controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 1,010 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively before touching down on the runway.

However, there was a slight issue with the touchdown speed, which was recorded at 72 knots. While this is not excessively high, it is slightly faster than the ideal touchdown speed. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -175 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown smoothly.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 44°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from 259°. The crosswind component was minimal, at just 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions would have made the landing relatively straightforward for the pilot.

The total landing distance of 1,731 feet was 46% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. While there were a few minor issues with the touchdown speed and distance, these did not significantly impact the overall outcome of the landing.
