Landing on runway 02 at MUCF Jaime Gonzalez in the Cessna 208B

Landing Score 86.91 %

Landing Summary

Overall, your aircraft landing score is 86.9%, which is a good score but there are still areas that need improvement.

During the Approach Phase, it was noted that your descent path was below the glideslope limit and your speed was below target. It is important to maintain the correct descent path and speed to ensure a safe landing. Be mindful of not stalling the aircraft during descent.

In the Landing Phase, your threshold height was significantly below target and your landing flare was very poor. Additionally, there was poor bank angle stability during landing. These factors can affect the smoothness and safety of the landing. Focus on maintaining the correct height and angle during the landing phase.

On a positive note, during the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was smooth and your speed was on target. You also landed within the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position was only 4.4 m from the centerline. It is important to continue practicing and maintaining these good landing techniques.

Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was slightly off at 4.3 m from the centerline. Pay attention to maintaining the correct alignment during rollout to ensure a safe landing.

Overall, your performance in handling a crosswind of 11 knots was commendable. Keep up the good work and continue practicing to improve your landing technique in all phases. With dedication and practice, you can further improve your aircraft landing skills. Great job on your landing!
