Landing on runway 36L at KMCO Orlando International Airport in the REDWING SUPER CONSTELATION 1049 C American Oversea

Landing Score 87.75 %

Landing Summary

The REDWING SUPER CONSTELLATION 1049 C American Overseas successfully landed at KMCO Orlando International Airport, achieving an impressive score of 87.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 359.0° at an altitude of 214 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon final approach, the aircraft maintained a steady course, and the pilot successfully landed on runway 36L, which has a length of 12,043 feet. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 115 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's weight or other factors.

The touchdown point was 2,473 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. Nevertheless, the touchdown speed of 93 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -91 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 73°F and winds blowing at 13 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, and the tailwind component was 8 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's performance, but the pilot successfully managed the aircraft to achieve a safe and controlled landing.

The total landing distance was 6,833 feet, which is 57% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not uncommon for large aircraft like the Super Constellation. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in managing the aircraft in challenging weather conditions.
