Landing on runway 29 at KSBP San Luis County Regional Airport in the DA62

Landing Score 98.7 %

Landing Summary

The DA62 aircraft successfully landed at KSBP San Luis County Regional Airport, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The final approach to runway 29 was conducted from the southeast, with a heading of 306.0° at 1 nautical mile and 490 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.

The landing was executed with a threshold height that met the required standards, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 89 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 77 knots was a bit faster than desired, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's decision to touch down slightly ahead of the optimal point. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 328 meters was within acceptable limits.

The landing rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -115 feet per minute, indicating that the aircraft was brought to a gentle stop on the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail during the approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from 320°.

The crosswind component was relatively light at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable. The total landing distance of 561 meters was 38% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was brought to a stop well within the available runway space.

During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction after touchdown.
