Landing on runway 02 at KUZA Rock Hill\/York Co\/Bryant in the PA28 Warrior II

Landing Score 95.93 %

Landing Summary

Well done on achieving a landing score of 95.9%! Your performance in the Approach Phase was mostly positive, but there was room for improvement with the descent path being slightly above the glideslope limit. Paying more attention to maintaining the correct descent path will help you improve in this area.

In the Landing Phase, you had a slightly higher threshold height than the target, but your landing flare was excellent. Keep up the good work on your landing flare technique and try to improve on hitting the target threshold height for an even smoother touchdown.

Your Touchdown Phase performance was impressive with a perfect touchdown rate, on-target speed, and touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone. Additionally, your runway touchdown position being only 7 ft from the centerline shows great precision in your landing accuracy.

Finally, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was slightly off at 13 ft from the centerline. Paying closer attention to your alignment during rollout will help you achieve an even higher score in future landings.

Overall, your performance was strong with many areas showing excellent skills. Keep up the hard work and focus on improving the minor areas for an even better landing score in your future flights. Your dedication and commitment to improving your landing techniques are truly commendable. Keep it up!
