Landing Score 91.57 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft entered the final approach to runway 09 at KCID, heading 91.0° from the west at 4 nm and 1,411 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.

Threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 106 kt. The flare was executed with a touchdown distance of 292 m, a touchdown speed of 92 kt and a touchdown rate that was excellent at minus 70 fpm.

The aircraft touched down slightly misaligned by 3.1 m from the centreline. Total landing distance was 767 m, representing 29 % of the 2,613 m runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.

The landing earned a final score of 98.2 %. To tighten the touchdown point, aim to keep the aircraft within a few metres of the centreline at the 300 m (1,000 ft) aim point, which will further improve alignment without altering speed or flare technique.
