Landing on runway 20R at KSNA John Wayne Orange County International Airport in the RJ85

Landing Score 94.52 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at KSNA John Wayne Orange County International Airport, achieving a score of 94.5%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 208.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,385 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing on runway 20R, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 110 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing conditions. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 172 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 106 knots was also within acceptable limits.

One area of concern was the touchdown rate, which was reported as hard at -482 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly abrupt touchdown, which could potentially lead to issues with the landing gear or other aircraft systems. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's approach path or landing technique.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 190°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 12 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. However, the pilot successfully managed these conditions, and the runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown distance and speed. However, the hard touchdown rate and slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position are areas that require attention to ensure optimal landing performance.
