Landing Score 95.55 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, a Cessna 400 Corvalis, successfully landed at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (LTFJ) on runway 06L. The pilot's final approach was executed from the southwest, heading 45.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,004 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was deemed successful, with a score of 95.5%.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 74 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 418 meters was also considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 62 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -54 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 710 meters was only 24% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled landing.

However, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being 13.1 meters off-centerline.
