Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 27 at LGIR Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport, a 2,713-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the east. The approach quality was good, with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 150 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing conditions.

The touchdown point was 126 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 137 knots was a little fast, resulting in a touchdown rate of -210 feet per minute, which was fair. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.6 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind of 16 knots at 310 degrees, contributed to the landing performance.

The total landing distance was 1,548 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.6 meters from the centerline. Overall, the landing performance scored 93.4%, indicating a good but not exceptional landing. The deviations from the ideal landing conditions were minor, but they did affect the overall score.
