Top opportunity

Hold the approach angle

Arrival Final 1

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.

Landing report
Landing on runway 28 at KHTH Hawthorne Industrial in the Piper PA-24 Comanche
Landing Score 90.84 %
Landing Summary

Great job on your aircraft landing with a score of 90.8%! Let's break down your performance in each phase to see where you excelled and where you can make some improvements.

Starting with the Approach Phase, it's important to note that the unstable glideslope alignment and slightly below target speed may have caused the initial challenges. I would suggest focusing on maintaining a stable and precise approach in future landings to improve your overall score.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, you did exceptionally well with a good threshold height and a perfect landing flare. Your touchdown rate was smooth, and your speed was on target, which definitely contributed to your high score. Additionally, having a touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone and a runway touchdown position only 2.1m from the centerline shows your precision and attention to detail.

In the Touchdown Phase, your smooth touchdown rate and on-target speed further demonstrate your skill and consistency. These factors are crucial in ensuring a safe and successful landing. Keep up the good work in this area.

Finally, the Rollout Phase seems to be your strong suit, with very good runway alignment. This is essential for a smooth and controlled rollout after landing. Make sure to maintain this precision in all your future landings.

Overall, your performance was impressive, but there is always room for improvement. Focus on improving your approach stability and speed control to achieve even higher scores. Keep up the great work, and continue honing your skills to become an even better pilot. You're on the right track!
