Landing on runway 19 at BIRK Reykjavik in the Horten Ho229

Landing Score 89.42 %

Landing Summary

Great job on achieving an aircraft landing score of 89.4%! Your overall performance was commendable, with some areas showing areas for improvement.

During the Approach Phase, it was noted that the descent path was below the glideslope limit. It is important to ensure adherence to altitude and descent profiles to ensure a safe and efficient approach to the runway. Focus on maintaining proper altitude and glide path to improve in this aspect.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, the threshold height was below the target and the landing flare was deemed very poor. A good landing flare is crucial for a smooth touchdown and to prevent a hard landing. Work on improving your flare technique to ensure a smoother touchdown and to reduce the risk of damaging the aircraft.

In the Touchdown Phase, it was noted that the touchdown rate was smooth, but the speed was slightly above the target. Additionally, landing with a tailwind of 18 knots is risky and should be avoided whenever possible. Try to land within the recommended speed parameters and always prioritize safety by landing into the wind.

However, it is worth mentioning that the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position were both on point, with the aircraft landing 6 feet from the centerline. This shows good precision and control during the landing phase.

Lastly, during the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was deemed very good. Maintaining proper alignment during rollout is essential for a safe taxi to the terminal or parking area.

Overall, your performance was solid, with room for improvement in certain areas. Keep practicing and refining your skills to enhance your overall aircraft landing proficiency. Remember to prioritize safety and adherence to procedures during every phase of flight. Keep up the good work!
