Landing on runway 27R at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport in the RJ85

Landing Score 90.63 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, a RJ85, had a successful landing at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport's runway 27R, scoring a 90.6% grade in its assessment. The approach was initiated from the east, descending at 1,264 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles (nm) from the runway 27R, flying in the direction of 269.0°. The good threshold height indicates that the aircraft was well-positioned to land safely.

The threshold speed of 120 knots was achieved as expected, suggesting that the aircraft's engines were performing well, and the crew had adequately managed the aircraft's descent. Furthermore, the touchdown distance was 263 meters, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 113 knots was slightly lower than the expected threshold speed, though it was still within the safe margin.

The major concern in this landing was the touchdown rate, which was calculated to be -590 feet per minute, categorized as "very hard." This suggests that the aircraft's descent may have become slightly aggressive, placing additional stress on the landing gear and potentially increasing the risk of damage.

Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating 6.5 meters from the centerline. Local weather conditions during the landing included a temperature of -8°C, with wind speeds of 9 knots blowing at 304°. The tailwind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 709 meters, which was 27% of the available runway length.

One positive note from this landing was the runway rollout alignment, which was deemed "very good." This suggests that the crew managed to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout process, preventing veering off the runway centerline. Overall, while this landing was considered successful, there were some areas for improvement, primarily centered on controlling the descent to achieve a safer touchdown rate.
