Landing on runway 29 at 08R Richmond Airport in the Cessna 414A

Landing Score 99.57 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna 414A aircraft successfully landed on runway 29 at 08R Richmond Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills. The final approach was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 278.0° at 0 nm and 134 ft above ground level (agl). This indicates a stable and controlled descent, setting the stage for a smooth landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed admirably, with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 93 kn. This slight deviation from the target speed is not uncommon and does not appear to have had any significant impact on the landing. The touchdown distance of 672 ft was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had a good sense of the aircraft's speed and altitude.

The touchdown speed of 83 kn was also good, and the touchdown rate of -6 fpm was perfect. A negative touchdown rate indicates that the aircraft was descending at a rate of 6 feet per minute at the moment of touchdown, which is ideal for a safe and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained the aircraft's alignment with the runway throughout the approach and landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 29°F and winds of 5 kn at 222°. The crosswind component was 4 kn, while the headwind component was 3 kn. These conditions would have presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but the successful landing suggests that they were well-handled.

The total landing distance of 1,367 ft was 68% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing and rollout.

Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance capabilities. The successful landing on a relatively short runway, despite moderate wind conditions, demonstrates a high level of proficiency and attention to detail.
