Landing on runway 35 at LFMD Cannes-Mandelieu Airport in the M500

Landing Score 91.38 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 35 at LFMD Cannes-Mandelieu Airport, a 1,136-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the south. The approach quality was good, with a threshold height that was well managed. The threshold speed of 88 knots was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed flare. The touchdown distance of 355 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 78 knots was consistent with a controlled descent.

However, the touchdown rate of -244 feet per minute was slightly higher than desired, suggesting a slightly steeper-than-ideal descent. The runway touchdown position was 14.9 meters off-centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a crosswind of 18 knots, may have contributed to this slight misalignment.

The total landing distance of 547 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly off-centerline, by 14.7 meters, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position. Overall, the landing performance was good, with a score of 91.4%, indicating a well-executed landing despite some minor deviations from the ideal.
