Landing on runway 28 at KGKT Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport in the Cockspur PH100

Landing Score 81.43 %

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 28 at KGKT Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport from the east was initiated at 2 nm and 1,340 ft above ground level, heading 276.0°. The aircraft, Cockspur PH100, maintained a steady descent, but the approach quality was slightly compromised by a threshold height that was well above the target, indicating a higher-than-desired rate of descent.

As the aircraft touched down 223 meters beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 105 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -72 fpm was excellent, demonstrating precise control and a smooth touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The threshold speed of 124 kt was also too high, indicating a slight delay in the touchdown process. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 183°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.

The overall performance of the Cockspur PH100 during the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 81.4%. While there were some areas for improvement, such as the approach quality and threshold speed, the aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the touchdown and rollout phases. The rollout was likely smooth and controlled, given the excellent touchdown rate and perfect runway alignment.
