Landing on runway 10 at LFRC Cherbourg-Maupertus Airport in the OV-10 Bronco

Landing Score 94.9 %

Landing Summary

The OV-10 Bronco aircraft successfully landed at LFRC Cherbourg-Maupertus Airport, achieving a high score of 94.9%. The final approach to runway 10 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 74.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 390 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.

The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 93 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown point was 98 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within acceptable limits.

The touchdown speed of 76 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot was able to smoothly transition the aircraft from the approach to the landing phase. The touchdown rate of -138 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and prevent any sudden or jarring movements.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but they were still able to achieve a smooth and controlled landing.

The total landing distance of 702 meters was 29% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to apply the brakes smoothly and effectively, preventing any wheelspin or loss of control during the rollout phase. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the entire landing sequence.

Overall, the OV-10 Bronco aircraft demonstrated excellent handling and control during the landing at LFRC Cherbourg-Maupertus Airport, achieving a high score of 94.9%. The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed, altitude, and direction during the approach and landing phases was impressive, and the landing was characterized by a smooth and controlled touchdown.
