What went well

Touched down at -178 fpm — a soft arrival
1.14 G at touchdown — inside band
Rollout controlled — 37 % of the runway used

What held you back

Arrival Landing — at 0 %, Landing and flare profile at 0 %, −2.45 points
Arrival Final 2 — Approach angle 7.1 ° at 0 %, bank angle up to 10.4 ° at 80 %, −1.42 points
Arrival Final 4 — Approach angle 6.1 ° at 26 %, bank angle up to 7.9 ° at 87 %, −1.04 points

Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, a SR22, successfully landed at KSMX Santa Maria Public Airport, Captain G Allan Hancock Field, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 319.0° at 3 nautical miles and 2,189 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 30, which has a length of 2,441 meters.

However, the landing was not without its issues. The threshold height at 138 feet agl was excessively over target, indicating that the aircraft descended too slowly during the final approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 103 knots, which may have contributed to the excessive descent rate. The touchdown point was 442 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the aircraft may have landed slightly too far down the runway.

Despite these issues, the touchdown speed of 68 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute was also within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 281°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.

The total landing distance of 977 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the aircraft's touchdown speed and rate were good, and the total landing distance was within acceptable limits. However, the deviations in threshold height, threshold speed, and runway touchdown position alignment suggest that the pilot may have benefited from additional training or practice to improve their landing skills.
