Landing Summary

The Beechcraft Duke aircraft successfully landed at LSZA Lugano Airport, achieving a score of 96.6%. The final approach to runway 01 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 18.0° at 2 nautical miles and 510 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled descent into the airport.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 168 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 94 knots was well within the target range, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown rate of -99 feet per minute (fpm) was also excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a gentle wind of 1 knot at 14°. This minimal wind made the landing even more challenging, as it required the pilot to maintain precise control and alignment with the runway. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind of 1 knot actually assisted the aircraft's descent.

The total landing distance of 2,741 feet was 82% of the runway length, which is a respectable achievement. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment with the runway throughout the landing process. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's capabilities.
