Top opportunity

Hold the approach angle

Arrival Final 1

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Landing on runway 17 at 68AZ Music Mountain Air Ranch in the Piper PA-24 Comanche
Landing Score 90.34 %
Landing Summary

Great job on your aircraft landing with a score of 90.3%! Let's break down your performance in each phase of the landing to see where you excelled and where you can make some improvements.

Starting with the Approach Phase, it seems like there were some issues with unstable glideslope alignment, poor heading alignment, and slightly below target speed. To improve in this phase, I would recommend focusing on maintaining a stable approach path and ensuring alignment with the runway heading. Pay close attention to your speed control to ensure you are on target for a smoother transition into the landing phase.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, you had a well below target threshold height and a great landing flare. This is fantastic to hear, as a smooth flare is crucial for a successful touchdown. Keep up the good work on your flare technique, and continue to practice maintaining the proper threshold height for a more precise landing.

In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was smooth, speed was on target, and you landed inside the touchdown zone with the runway touchdown position only 6 feet from the centerline. This is superb precision and control during the landing phase. Keep practicing your touch down technique to maintain consistency in your landings.

Finally, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was very good. This shows that you have good control over the aircraft during the rollout and can maintain alignment with the runway. Keep practicing your rollout technique to ensure a smooth and stable exit from the runway.

Overall, your performance in each phase of the landing was commendable with a few areas for improvement. Keep up the good work and continue to focus on honing your skills to achieve even higher scores in the future. Your dedication and commitment to improving your landing technique are evident, and I have no doubt that with continued practice, you will see even greater success in your future landings. Great job!
