Landing Summary

Aircraft M500 executed the final approach to runway 26 at KDKX Knoxville Downtown Island Airport from the east, maintaining a heading of 257.0° at 4 nm and 1,748 ft above ground level. Local weather was 31 °C with wind 6 kt from 219°, providing a 3 kt crosswind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.

The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 96 kt.

Touchdown occurred 304 m down the runway; the touchdown speed of 89 kt was fast while the vertical rate of -188 fpm was good. The aircraft touched down 4.2 m off the centreline, a slight misalignment.

Total landing distance measured 943 m, representing 89 % of the 1,055 m runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.

To tighten the landing envelope, reduce the approach speed to meet the target threshold speed and manage the flare to lower the touchdown speed toward the desired value. Maintaining precise alignment will further improve the already strong rollout performance.
