Landing Score 88.12 %

Landing Summary

The Rans S-6 Coyote II aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving an impressive score of 88.1%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft heading 230.0° at an altitude of 209 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good control and precision, touching down on the runway at a speed of 30 knots. The touchdown distance of 449 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold height at 77 feet agl was slightly above the target, but this did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, which further contributed to the smoothness of the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.

The total landing distance of 541 meters was 30% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's speed and descent rate to achieve a smooth and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, 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. The aircraft's performance was impressive, and the landing score of 88.1% reflects the high level of skill and expertise displayed by the pilot.
