Landing on runway 17L at KSMF Sacramento International Airport in the Vision Jet

Landing Score 92.37 %

Landing Summary

The Vision Jet has successfully landed at KSMF Sacramento International Airport, achieving a score of 92.4%. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 17L from the north, heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,622 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 68 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 70 knots was slightly faster than ideal, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown distance of 194 feet was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent.

Despite the good touchdown speed and distance, the touchdown rate of -286 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. A more ideal touchdown rate would be closer to -200 to -250 fpm, indicating a more controlled descent. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 31 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 17 knots from 180°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 17 knots, which may have affected the pilot's ability to maintain a perfectly aligned approach. The total landing distance of 503 feet was only 6% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 32 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to the pilot's difficulty in maintaining a perfectly aligned path during the landing roll. Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at KSMF Sacramento International Airport was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and rate, as well as maintaining a perfectly aligned approach and landing roll.
