Landing Score 100 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, Black Square Starship N786BP, successfully landed at KSBA Santa Barbara Municipal Airport with a score of 100.0%. The final approach to runway 25 was initiated from the east, heading 267.0° at an altitude of 78 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The pilot executed a precise landing, touching down on the runway with a speed of 107 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 110 knots. The touchdown distance of 485 feet was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -102 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and even rate of descent throughout the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 160°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 7 knots and a tailwind component of 2 knots. Despite these wind conditions, the pilot was able to maintain perfect runway touchdown alignment, indicating excellent control and precision.

The total landing distance of 3,291 feet was 54% 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 maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing, resulting in a smooth and efficient rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control and stability throughout the entire landing process.
