Landing on runway 22 at AIBA Aibai Airstrip in the Kodiak 100

Landing Score 96.92 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, a Kodiak 100, successfully landed at AIBA Aibai Airstrip, achieving a score of 96.9%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 227.0° at 0 nm and -68 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 22, which has a length of 483 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 72 knots. However, the touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 85 meters. The touchdown speed of 68 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of 174 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect. This indicates that the aircraft's descent was well-controlled and smooth.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the approach or landing technique. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 85°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was 3 knots, which had a negligible effect on the landing.

The total landing distance was 274 meters, which is 57% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and the pilot executed a smooth landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, showing that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and technique. However, there are some minor areas for improvement, such as adjusting the approach and landing technique to achieve a more accurate touchdown position and reducing the touchdown speed.
