Landing on runway 31 at KDSM Des Moines International Airport in the Vision Jet

Landing Score 99.64 %

Landing Summary

The Vision Jet successfully completed a landing on runway 31 at Des Moines International Airport (KDSM), showcasing exceptional piloting skills. The final approach to runway 31 was executed from a southeast direction, heading 312.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,598 feet above ground level (agl). This precise approach demonstrates the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft to a precise location, thereby ensuring a smooth and controlled descent.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was impressive, with a touchdown distance of 1,429 feet, which falls within the optimal range for safe landing operations. The Vision Jet's speed at touchdown was also well-managed, coming in at a comfortable 65 knots. The touchdown rate of -167 feet per minute (fpm) is also commensurate with standard safe landing protocols.

A critical factor in any landing operation is the alignment of the aircraft with the runway, which in this instance was exceptional. The runway touchdown alignment was deemed very good, indicating that the pilot expertly maneuvered the aircraft to match the runway's orientation. This precise alignment facilitates a smoother rollout and reduces the potential for aircraft damage.

Given the local weather conditions of a moderate temperature of 66° Fahrenheit, coupled with a negligible wind speed of 3 knots at 200°, the landing conditions were near-ideal. A crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot did not pose significant challenges, and the aircraft responded well to the pilot's control inputs. This highlights the Vision Jet's responsiveness and stability in various environmental conditions.

Post-landing, the aircraft's rollout alignment was found to be perfect, further emphasizing the pilot's exceptional skill and control. The total landing distance of 2,155 feet, representing only 24% of the runway length, is a testament to the Vision Jet's efficient landing performance and the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and distance with precision. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing operation at KDSM demonstrates exemplary piloting skills and adherence to safe aviation practices.
