Landing on runway 19 at KRFD Chicago Rockford International Airport in the RJ85

Landing Score 89.31 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at Chicago Rockford International Airport (KRFD) on runway 19. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 181.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,414 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 127 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 455 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 116 knots was good, suggesting a smooth landing. However, the touchdown rate of -1,078 feet per minute (fpm) was considered very heavy, which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach or a need for further refinement in the landing technique.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 90°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the aircraft maintained a very good runway touchdown alignment.

The total landing distance of 1,115 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the runway's length of 2,496 meters. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
