Landing on runway 23L at KGSO Piedmont Triad International Airport in the Honda HA420

Landing Score 97.2 %

Landing Summary

The Honda HA420 aircraft successfully landed at Piedmont Triad International Airport (KGSO) on runway 23L, achieving a score of 97.2%. The final approach was initiated from the northeast, heading 226.0° at 2 nautical miles and 388 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the designated runway.

The runway length at KGSO is 3,046 meters, providing a sufficient distance for the Honda HA420 to touch down and come to a stop. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 116 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed during the approach.

The touchdown distance of 285 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively and maintain control during the landing. However, the touchdown speed of 117 knots was slightly too fast, which may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and brakes. The touchdown rate of -265 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing relatively smoothly.

The runway touchdown alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway as it touched down. This is an important factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 17°C and winds of 3 knots at 269°. The crosswind and headwind components were both minimal, at 2 knots each, which likely contributed to the smoothness of the landing.

Overall, the Honda HA420 aircraft demonstrated good performance and control during the landing at KGSO, achieving a high score of 97.2%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, the aircraft was able to land safely and effectively, thanks in part to the good runway alignment and minimal wind conditions.
