Landing Score 86.26 %

Landing Summary

Great job on successfully landing the aircraft with a score of 86.3%! Let's take a closer look at each phase of the landing to see where improvements can be made.

During the Approach Phase, the descent path was found to be above the glideslope limit and the speed was higher than the target. It's important to maintain proper descent path and speed to ensure a smooth approach and landing. Consider adjusting the descent rate and speed to stay within the desired parameters.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, it was noted that the threshold height was below the target, but the landing flare was executed very well. However, there was poor bank angle stability during landing. Make sure to maintain a stable bank angle to ensure a safe and controlled landing.

In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was smooth, which is great to hear. However, the speed was above target and the touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. Try to aim for a smoother touchdown by adjusting the speed and touchdown point to optimize runway usage.

Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was off by 5.4 m from the centreline. It's crucial to maintain proper runway alignment for a safe and efficient rollout.

Overall, you did a good job on the landing, but there are areas that can be improved upon. Keep practicing and focusing on maintaining proper descent path, speed, bank angle stability, touchdown point, and runway alignment to improve your landing performance. Keep up the good work and strive for continuous improvement in your flying skills. You're on the right track!
