The Boeing C17 touched down on runway 08 at EGBP Cotswold Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -103 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft's touchdown speed of 38 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown distance of 400 m was satisfactory, considering the runway length of 1,618 m. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 63 kt was well below the target, demonstrating a high degree of control and caution to avoid stalling.
As the aircraft rolled out, it maintained perfect centerline alignment, a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The total landing distance of 529 m, which accounted for 33% of the runway, was reasonable, given the prevailing wind conditions. The local weather, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle wind of 3 kt at 225 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind and tailwind components of 2 kt each were minimal, further facilitating a smooth touchdown.
The overall performance of the landing was impressive, with a score of 91.6%. The approach quality was excellent, and the pilot's ability to maintain control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases was evident.
