Top opportunity

Hold the approach angle

Arrival Final 2

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The touchdown distance of 1,369 feet was also good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and made a smooth landing. The touchdown rate of 94 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, suggesting that the pilot had managed to slow down the aircraft efficiently. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from 272°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance of 2,809 feet was 80% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had made a good use of the available runway.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and made a smooth transition from the landing to the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
