The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,185 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 219 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Douglas DC-3 began at LFRC Cherbourg-Maupertus Airport, where the aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway in 8 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The departure roll took place on runway 10, with a takeoff distance of 243 m, which was 10% of the runway length. The aircraft achieved liftoff at a speed of 81 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 12 °C, with a wind speed of 19 knots coming from 79 °, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 18 knots.
The enroute climb began overhead Gonneville in Normandie, France, with the aircraft climbing from 1,150 ft asl to 3,803 ft asl, an increase of 2,653 ft in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nm. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile east of Nehou in Normandie and lasted 31 minutes, covering a distance of 60 nm.
The landing occurred on runway 35 at LFRD Dinard-Pleurtuit-Saint-Malo Airport, which had a runway length of 2,185 m. The aircraft was at a height of 31 ft agl at the threshold and had a speed of 64 knots. The touchdown point was 217 m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 58 knots and a VSI of -162 ft/min. The local weather at the time of landing was 11 °C, with a wind speed of 13 knots coming from 79 °, resulting in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 760 m, which was 35% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 81 nm, and the flight duration was 302 minutes. The aircraft used 172 kg of fuel during the flight.
Congratulations on an impressive aircraft landing score of 97.2%! Let's break down your performance in each phase of the landing to see what you did right and where there may be room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent, and your speed was well below the target. This indicates that you were maintaining proper altitude and airspeed control, which are crucial for a smooth and safe landing. However, be mindful of not stalling the aircraft in your efforts to maintain a low speed.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you demonstrated good threshold height and executed a perfect landing flare. This shows that you were able to manage the descent and flare out at the right moment to achieve a gentle touchdown. Your touchdown rate was good, and your speed was on target, with the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone. Additionally, your runway touchdown position was very good, indicating precise control during the final moments before touchdown. Moreover, handling a 13 knot crosswind during the landing is commendable.
In the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was slightly off, with a deviation of 5.4 meters from the centerline. While this may not have had a significant impact on the overall landing score, maintaining better runway alignment can contribute to a smoother rollout and taxiing experience.
Overall, you should be proud of your performance during this landing. Your proficiency in maintaining altitude, airspeed, and precision during approach, landing, and rollout phases is evident. Keep up the good work and continue honing your skills to achieve even higher scores in future landings. With dedication and practice, you are well on your way to becoming a proficient and skilled pilot. Congratulations once again on a job well done!
