Landing on runway 21 at BIEG Egilsstadir in the TBM 930

Landing Score 64.69 %

Landing Summary

It's clear from the detailed analysis that there are several areas for improvement in the aircraft landing performance. Firstly, during the Approach Phase, there were issues with the glideslope alignment, heading alignment, and excessive speed. These factors can significantly impact the overall landing quality and should be addressed to ensure a smoother approach.

In the Landing Phase, while the threshold height was good, there were concerns with the landing flare, heading alignment, and bank angle stability. These are crucial aspects of a successful landing and require attention to enhance the overall performance of the aircraft's touchdown.

During the Touchdown Phase, although the touchdown rate was smooth, the excessively high speed and long touchdown point indicate the need for better speed management and touchdown precision. Additionally, the touchdown position being far from the centreline and using more than 50% of the available runway suggests inconsistent performance that needs improvement.

Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being significantly off-centre highlights the need for better control and alignment during the final phase of the landing. Improving these aspects will lead to a more precise and controlled landing, ultimately improving the overall landing score.

Despite the challenges identified in the analysis, it's important to approach these areas of improvement with a positive attitude and determination to enhance landing performance. By focusing on improving glideslope and heading alignment, speed management, touchdown precision, and runway alignment, the aircraft landing score can be significantly increased in future flights. With dedication and practice, there is great potential for enhancing skills and achieving better landing outcomes. Keep up the hard work and strive for excellence in every aspect of the landing process.
