Landing on runway 32 at LZLI Ďačov Airstrip in the Van's RV-8

Landing Score 97.58 %

Landing Summary

The Van's RV-8 aircraft successfully landed at LZLI Ďačov Airstrip, achieving a score of 97.6%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 326.0° at 1 nm and 280 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 32, which has a length of 454 meters.

The pilot demonstrated good control during the approach, as indicated by the very good runway touchdown alignment. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed of 75 kn, which may have been due to the aircraft's performance characteristics or the pilot's decision to prioritize a safe approach over a precise touchdown speed.

The touchdown point was located more than 50% of the available runway, which may have been due to the aircraft's speed and the pilot's decision to flare late. The touchdown speed of 71 kn was slightly faster than the target speed, which may have contributed to the long touchdown point. The touchdown rate of -219 fpm was fair, indicating that the pilot was able to control the descent and touchdown.

The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 2 kn from 358°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kn, while the headwind component was 2 kn. These conditions likely contributed to the pilot's ability to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.

Overall, the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the landing, but there were some areas for improvement, such as managing the threshold speed and touchdown point.
