Landing on runway 36 at KHQZ Mesquite Metro Airport in the M500

Landing Score 99.48 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, identified as an M500, successfully landed at KHQZ Mesquite Metro Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in its operation. The final approach to runway 36, which is located at the airport, was conducted from the south with a heading of 2.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,716 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of safe landing operations. The threshold speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft touches down on the runway, was also satisfactory at 86 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 75 knots was slightly faster than ideal, indicating that the pilot may have been able to make adjustments to achieve a more optimal touchdown speed.

The touchdown distance, which is the distance between the point where the aircraft touches down on the runway and the point where it comes to a complete stop, was good at 1,495 feet. This is a significant aspect of landing operations, as it affects the overall safety and efficiency of the process. The touchdown rate, which is the rate at which the aircraft descends onto the runway, was excellent at -83 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The runway touchdown alignment, which refers to the alignment of the aircraft with the runway at the point of touchdown, was perfect. This is a critical aspect of landing operations, as it affects the overall safety and efficiency of the process. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°.

The total landing distance, which is the distance between the point where the aircraft begins its descent and the point where it comes to a complete stop, was 3,042 feet, which is 51% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to make efficient use of the runway. The runway rollout alignment, which refers to the alignment of the aircraft with the runway as it comes to a complete stop, was also perfect.

Overall, the landing of the M500 at KHQZ Mesquite Metro Airport was a successful operation, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its operation. The pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently, despite slightly faster than ideal touchdown speed, is a testament to their skill and experience.
