The Cessna 208B touched down on runway 24 at WX53 Bugalaga Airstrip with a score of 95.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 235.0° at 0 nm and 95 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height allowing for a controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 55 kt, indicating a slight delay in the touchdown process.
The aircraft touched down at a speed of 50 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 208 ft was good, and the touchdown rate of 116 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 24 ft from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 6 kt. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 37 °F and a wind of 7 kt at 304°, may have also contributed to the slight deviation from the centreline.
The aircraft's total landing distance of 696 ft was 46% of the runway length, which was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a good touchdown speed and distance, but with some room for improvement in terms of centreline alignment.
