Landing on runway 05 at GLMR Spriggs Payne in the TBM 930

Landing Score 95.48 %

Landing Summary

Overall, achieving a landing score of 95.5% is an impressive accomplishment. This shows that the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and precision during the landing process.

In the Approach Phase, it is noted that the descent path was above the glideslope limit. This can be improved by ensuring better descent planning and monitoring to stay within the acceptable parameters.

During the Landing Phase, it is commendable that the threshold height and landing flare were executed perfectly. However, it is important to work on maintaining better bank angle stability during landing to ensure a smooth and controlled touchdown.

In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was good and the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone is a positive indicator of accurate landing. Although the speed was slightly above target, it is crucial to work on maintaining the correct speed for a safer landing.

It is concerning that the aircraft landed with a 4 kn tailwind, as this can affect the landing performance and safety. Ensuring that landings are conducted with headwind or minimal tailwind is essential for a safe landing.

In the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 7.5 m from the centreline is an area that can be improved upon. Maintaining better runway alignment can enhance the overall landing performance and safety of the aircraft.

Overall, while the landing score is highly commendable, there are areas identified for improvement. Being mindful of descent path, bank angle stability, tailwind conditions, and runway alignment can further enhance the pilot's landing skills and ensure safe and successful landings in the future. With dedication and practice, these areas can be addressed, leading to even greater achievements in future landings. Keep up the good work and continue striving for excellence in every landing!
