Landing on runway 28 at LFRC Cherbourg-Maupertus Airport in the Douglas DC-3

Landing Score 92.97 %

Landing Summary

Overall, the aircraft landing score of 93.0% is very impressive, reflecting a high level of proficiency and skill in executing the various phases of the landing process.

Starting with the Approach Phase, it is commendable that the glideslope alignment was excellent. This indicates precise control and calculation to maintain the correct descent path towards the runway. Although the speed was slightly below target, this can be easily corrected with practice and experience.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is noteworthy that the threshold height was good, and the landing flare was executed well. A good threshold height ensures a smooth transition from descent to landing, while a well-executed flare helps to cushion the touchdown and minimize the impact on the aircraft.

In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was good, and the speed was on target. Additionally, the touchdown distance within the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position were very good. These aspects demonstrate a high level of precision and control during the critical moment of touchdown.

However, it is important to address the fact that the aircraft landed with a 5 kn tailwind, which can potentially pose safety risks and affect the landing performance. It is essential to always strive for landing with a headwind or a calm wind to ensure optimal control and safety.

Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, it is noted that the runway alignment was 17.8 m from the centerline. While this may not have a significant impact on the overall landing score, attention should still be given to maintaining proper runway alignment for safety and operational reasons.

In conclusion, while the aircraft landing score of 93.0% is impressive, there are areas for improvement such as correcting the tailwind landing and ensuring precise runway alignment. With continued practice and attention to detail, the landing performance can be further enhanced to achieve even higher scores in the future. Keep up the good work and strive for excellence in every landing!
