Landing on runway 31 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport in the Pesim FPV Drone Racer

Landing Score 95.52 %

Landing Summary

The Pesim FPV Drone Racer successfully landed on runway 31 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, achieving a high score of 95.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 310.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 566 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the drone was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold.

The threshold speed, however, was slightly below the target speed of 70 knots. Despite this, the drone was able to maintain a smooth touchdown speed of 58 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 316 meters was also good, indicating that the drone was able to slow down effectively before touching down on the runway.

The touchdown rate was smooth at -146 feet per minute (fpm), which suggests that the drone was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation in the drone's flight path.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 59°. The crosswind was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind was even weaker at 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing.

The total landing distance of 664 meters was 31% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the drone was able to slow down effectively and maintain control throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the drone was able to maintain its alignment with the runway after touchdown.

Overall, the Pesim FPV Drone Racer demonstrated excellent landing skills, achieving a high score of 95.5% despite a slightly below-target threshold speed. The smooth touchdown speed, good touchdown distance, and smooth touchdown rate all contributed to a successful landing.
