Landing on runway 35 at PHLI Lihue Airport in the L-39 Albatros

Landing Score 96.61 %

Landing Summary

The L-39 Albatros aircraft successfully landed at PHLI Lihue Airport, achieving a score of 96.6%. The final approach to runway 35 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 1.0° at an altitude of 66 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 105 knots, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 846 feet was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 89 knots was good. The touchdown rate of -124 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a gentle and controlled landing.

However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft touching down 25 feet off the centreline. This may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 92°.

The total landing distance of 1,744 feet was 27% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a short distance of the runway. However, the slight misalignment of the touchdown position and the slightly below-target threshold speed are areas for improvement.
