The CRJ900 aircraft has successfully executed a landing at Des Moines International Airport, earning a remarkable score of 99.8%. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, with an initial heading of 131.0° at an altitude of 1,012 ft (308.5 meters) above ground level (agl). This suggests that the pilots were on course for a precise touchdown on runway 13.
The landing was carried out to perfection, with a good threshold height indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and on track for a smooth touchdown. The threshold speed of 138 kt (255 km/h) was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's descent and velocity. Furthermore, the touchdown distance of 351 meters was remarkably short, implying excellent control and a high degree of precision.
However, the touchdown rate of -208 fpm (1.07 m/s) was deemed fair, suggesting that the aircraft touched down slightly harder than ideal. Nevertheless, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing, and the CRJ900 continued to demonstrate its capabilities.
The landing conditions, with a temperature of 24°C, are typical for a summer day, providing optimal flying conditions for the aircraft. The total landing distance of 1,258 meters, which accounts for 46% of the runway, indicates that the CRJ900 has sufficient stopping distance to safely come to a halt on the runway. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was spot-on, showcasing the pilots' expertise in managing the aircraft's deceleration and maintaining its path.
Overall, this landing was a testament to the CRJ900's exceptional performance capabilities and the pilots' skillful operation of the aircraft under controlled conditions. The impressive score of 99.8% highlights the high degree of professionalism and attention to detail exhibited by the flight crew, making this a notable achievement in aviation.
