The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at FD49 Montgomery's Flying M Ranch Airport, with a score of 87.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at 0 nm and 388 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 28, which has a length of 867 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 62 knots. This may indicate a slight delay in the aircraft's descent or a slight increase in airspeed during the final approach. However, the touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This suggests that the aircraft may have been slightly high or slow on final approach, resulting in a longer than ideal touchdown distance.
Despite the long touchdown point, the touchdown speed of 42 knots was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a safe and controlled speed during the landing. The touchdown rate of -340 feet per minute (fpm) was also firm, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without any significant bounce or oscillation.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway during touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were reported as follows: a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 237°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the successful landing.
The total landing distance was 578 meters, which is 67% of the available runway. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is still within the acceptable range for a Cessna 208B aircraft. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there may be some room for improvement in terms of touchdown point and speed. However, the aircraft's performance during the landing was generally good, and the pilot's skills and experience were likely a key factor in the successful outcome.
