Landing Summary

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills. The final approach to runway 10 from the west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 98.0° at 1 nautical mile and 345 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was likely a visual approach, given the good threshold height and the pilot's ability to maintain alignment with the runway.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a threshold speed of 67 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 131 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 59 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -73 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 450 meters, which is 34% of the runway length, was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and rollout.

The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, and it demonstrates the DA40-NG's ability to perform well in a variety of weather conditions. With a score of 98.5%, this landing was nearly flawless, and it sets a high standard for future landings.
