What went well

Touched down at -58 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 8.1 ft off the centreline, no bounce
1.10 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Landing and flare profile at 41 %, Threshold speed was too high at 113 kn. at 62 %, −1.17 points
Arrival Final 3 — bank angle up to 16.5 ° at 64 %, Approach angle 3.6 ° at 75 %, −0.70 points
Departure Taxi — Taxi Lights at 0 %, −0.67 points

Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Landing on runway 17R at KDWH David Wayne Hooks Memorial Airport in the Piper PA-46
Landing Score 91.83 %
Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, a M500, successfully landed at KDWH David Wayne Hooks Memorial Airport on runway 17R. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 180.0° at an altitude of 953 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.

However, there were some areas for improvement during the landing. The threshold speed was too high at 113 knots, which may have resulted in a slightly longer landing distance. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 81 knots was a little fast, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear. On the positive side, the touchdown rate was excellent at -58 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a light wind of 1 knot from 269°. This minimal wind made it easier for the pilot to maintain a stable approach and landing.

The total landing distance of 4,368 feet was 72% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and avoided any deviations from the centerline.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to threshold speed and touchdown speed. However, the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the excellent touchdown rate and perfect runway rollout alignment.
