Landing on runway 18 at KAAO Colonel James Jabara Airport in the TBM 930

Landing Score 66.2 %

Landing Summary

The TBM 930 aircraft successfully landed at Colonel James Jabara Airport (KAAO) with a score of 66.2%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 185.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,198 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 18, which has a length of 6,077 feet.

The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was above the target at 75 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more aggressively, potentially resulting in a smoother touchdown. However, the touchdown point was 382 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilot may have been unable to control the aircraft's descent effectively.

The touchdown speed of 60 knots was reported as good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a safe airspeed during the landing. However, the touchdown rate of -514 feet per minute (fpm) was very hard, which may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially caused a bumpy ride for the passengers.

One of the most significant issues with this landing was the excessive misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 112 feet off the centerline. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to maintain a stable approach path or may have been affected by crosswind or other factors. The runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 166 feet from the centerline, which further highlights the pilot's difficulty in maintaining a stable approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This suggests that the pilot should have had a relatively easy time maintaining control of the aircraft during the approach. However, the presence of a 1-knot crosswind may have still posed a challenge for the pilot, particularly if they were not able to compensate effectively.

Overall, while the TBM 930 aircraft was able to land safely at Colonel James Jabara Airport, the pilot's performance was marred by several issues, including excessive misalignment of the touchdown and rollout positions, a hard touchdown rate, and a threshold speed that was above the target. These issues suggest that the pilot may benefit from additional training or practice to improve their landing skills.
