Landing on runway 36 at U54 Bernard USFS in the Wilga 80

Landing Score 92.9 %

Landing Summary

Overall, your aircraft landing score of 92.9% is quite impressive and shows that you have a strong understanding of the fundamental elements of a successful landing. While there were some areas for improvement identified in the approach, landing, and touchdown phases, it's important to recognize the strengths you demonstrated in each phase as well.

In the Approach Phase, it's clear that there were some challenges with maintaining stable glideslope alignment and speed control. Moving forward, focusing on maintaining a consistent approach speed and properly aligning the aircraft with the glideslope will help improve overall performance during this phase.

During the Landing Phase, it is commendable that you were able to achieve a good threshold height and execute a perfect landing flare. However, the poor bank angle stability during landing suggests that there may be some room for improvement in terms of stabilizing the aircraft as it touches down on the runway. Working on maintaining a steady bank angle will help ensure a smoother and more controlled landing in the future.

In the Touchdown Phase, while the touchdown rate may have been hard and the speed was above target, it's worth noting that the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was only slightly off from the centerline. These details indicate that you have the skills to execute a successful touchdown, and with some adjustments to speed and touchdown rate, your landings will become even more precise.

Overall, your landing score of 92.9% is a fantastic achievement, and with a focus on improving glideslope alignment, speed control, bank angle stability, and touchdown rate, you will continue to refine your technique and achieve even higher scores in the future. Keep up the great work, and remember that every landing is an opportunity to learn and grow as a pilot. Congratulations on your success and keep striving for excellence in every flight!
