Landing on runway 35 at KSLN Salina Rgnl in the TBM 930

Landing Score 83.39 %

Landing Summary

Overall, it sounds like there were both positive and negative aspects to this aircraft landing. The Approach Phase had some difficulties with the descent path and speed, but the heading alignment was good. In the Landing Phase, the threshold height and landing flare were great, but there were issues with touchdown rate and speed. The Touchdown Phase had its challenges with a hard touchdown and excessive speed, as well as runway alignment and bounce on touchdown. Additionally, landing with a 13 knot tailwind can be dangerous.

To improve this aircraft landing, I would recommend focusing on maintaining a proper descent path and speed during the Approach Phase, as well as correcting the runway alignment issues in the Touchdown and Rollout Phases. It is important to keep an eye on touchdown rate and speed to ensure a smooth landing. Additionally, always be cautious of landing with a tailwind and try to avoid it whenever possible. Overall, with some adjustments and practice, I am confident that future landings can be improved. Keep up the good work and continue to strive for safe and successful landings.
