Landing on runway 19 at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in the Honda HA420

Landing Score 98.43 %

Landing Summary

The Honda HA420 aircraft successfully landed at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) on runway 19, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 175.0° at an altitude of 221 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The aircraft's approach and landing performance were impressive, with a good threshold height and speed of 101 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,415 feet was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 87 knots was well within the recommended range, and the touchdown rate of -106 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting a gentle and stable landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 50°F and wind speeds of 19 knots at 199°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 7 knots, while the headwind component was 17 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.

The total landing distance of 2,739 feet was 38% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the pilot maintained control throughout the landing roll.

Overall, the Honda HA420's landing performance at KDCA was exceptional, with a high score and impressive metrics across various parameters. The aircraft's ability to handle the local weather conditions and maintain a smooth and controlled descent was a testament to its design and handling characteristics.
