Landing on runway 30 at LEBB Bilbao Airport in the Douglas DC-3
Landing Score 97.9 %
Landing Summary

Great job on achieving a landing score of 97.9%! Your meticulous attention to detail and precise execution of each phase of the landing process is truly commendable.

In the Approach Phase, your exceptional glideslope alignment indicates a high level of skill and precision in maintaining the correct descent angle towards the runway. This is crucial for setting up a smooth and stable approach to the landing.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, your good threshold height and very good landing flare demonstrate your ability to accurately judge the altitude and timing of the flare, resulting in a smooth touchdown that minimizes any potential impact forces on the landing gear.

During the Touchdown Phase, your excellent touchdown rate and on-target speed indicate a perfect synchronization of aircraft control inputs, resulting in a firm yet controlled touchdown. Additionally, touchdown point being 98m beyond the touchdown zone and runway touchdown position being very good shows your ability to accurately judge the distance and positioning for a safe and efficient landing.

Finally, in the Rollout Phase, while the runway alignment being 5.5m from the centerline shows a slight deviation, overall your performance showcases a strong proficiency in controlling the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, your excellent performance in each phase of the landing process demonstrates a high level of skill, precision, and proficiency in executing a successful aircraft landing. Keep up the great work and continue striving for excellence in your future landings!
