Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 13 at KDSM Des Moines International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 126 kt was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and airspeed. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down at a speed of 121 kt, which was within the acceptable range.

The touchdown point was located 233 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, while not ideal, was still within the acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -299 fpm was fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the descent more smoothly. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a 6 kt headwind, also contributed to a relatively smooth landing.

The aircraft's rollout was characterized by perfect alignment with the centreline, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. The total landing distance of 1,551 m, which accounted for 57% of the runway length, was also satisfactory. Overall, the landing was considered good, with a score of 92.5%, reflecting the pilot's proficiency and ability to execute a safe and controlled landing.
