Landing on runway 34 at PAAK Atka in the TBM 850

Landing Score 83.85 %

Landing Summary

Overall, your aircraft landing score of 83.8% indicates that there are several areas that can be improved upon to achieve a smoother and more precise landing.

Starting with the Approach Phase, it is noted that the descent path was below the glideslope limit. This suggests that adjustments may need to be made to ensure the aircraft is on the correct descent path for a safe and efficient landing. Additionally, focusing on maintaining altitude control and ensuring the aircraft is on the correct glide path will be crucial for improvement in this phase.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is evident that there were issues with the threshold height being significantly below target and a very poor landing flare. This indicates that attention should be given to proper flare technique and timing in order to achieve a smoother touchdown. Practicing proper flare technique and ensuring the aircraft is in the correct position for landing will be essential in improving this phase of the landing.

In the Touchdown Phase, it is positive to note that the touchdown rate was smooth and the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone. However, there was mention of the speed being slightly above target. Focus on maintaining the correct approach speed and ensuring a smooth touchdown will help in achieving a more precise landing.

Finally, in the Rollout Phase, runway alignment was noted to be 8.6 meters from the centerline. Paying attention to proper alignment and ensuring the aircraft remains centered on the runway will be important for a safe and efficient rollout.

Overall, there are areas for improvement in each phase of the landing process. With dedication to practice and attention to detail, you can work towards achieving a higher landing score. Keep up the good work and continue to strive for improvement in each aspect of your landings. With perseverance and practice, you can achieve smoother and more precise landings in the future.
