The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at FD86 Deep Woods Ranch Airport, with a final approach score of 89.6%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 58.0° at 0 nm and 352 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is essential for a safe landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 06 at a speed of 60 kn, which was well below the target threshold speed. This indicates that the pilot was cautious and took necessary measures to avoid stalling the aircraft. The touchdown distance of 140 m was also good, suggesting that the pilot had a smooth and controlled approach.
However, the touchdown rate was hard at -490 fpm, which may indicate that the pilot could have applied a smoother touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 3.3 m from the centreline, which is a minor deviation.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 2 kn at 107°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 kn, and the headwind was even weaker at 1 kn. These conditions likely contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 500 m was 62% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the runway's length of 806 m. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and caution during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and alignment.
