Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 28 at CFY4 Winters Aire Park Airport from the south east was executed with a heading of 296.0° at an altitude of 316 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height allowing for a stable and controlled descent. The aircraft maintained a steady state, aligning itself with the runway environment as it descended towards the threshold.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 482 feet, with a touchdown speed of 34 knots. The touchdown rate was firm, at -373 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled and stable touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor control input. The threshold speed of 43 knots was maintained, ensuring a safe and controlled touchdown.

The rollout phase was executed smoothly, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind of 1 knot at 269°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 0 and 1 knots respectively, allowing for a straightforward rollout. Overall, the landing was scored at 83.9%, reflecting a good but not exceptional performance.
