Arrival Approach

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Landing Summary

The Cessna 404 Titan N946RC successfully completed a final approach to runway 28 at KGKT Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport from the east, aligning with the heading of 280.0° at 0 nm and 61 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height allowing the pilot to maintain a stable and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 103 kt was achieved, indicating a well-executed approach.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 431 m, and the touchdown speed of 82 kt was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -77 fpm was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control.

The rollout phase was uneventful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27 °C and a 10 kt wind at 10°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 99.3%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
