Landing on runway 18 at KFAR Hector International Airport in the RJ85

Landing Score 94.59 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at KFAR Hector International Airport, achieving a score of 94.6%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 185.0° at 1 nautical mile and 268 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 18, which has a length of 2,744 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 104 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to flare earlier than expected.

The touchdown distance was good, measuring 118 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 102 knots. However, the touchdown rate was reported as hard, with a descent rate of -430 feet per minute (fpm). This may have been due to the aircraft's high approach speed or the pilot's decision to flare later than expected.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were cold, with a temperature of -10°C, and a moderate headwind of 11 knots from a direction of 176°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 492 meters, which is equivalent to 18% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the approach and landing phases. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline throughout the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown distance, speed, and alignment. However, the hard touchdown rate may be a concern for future landings, and the pilots may need to adjust their approach and flare techniques to achieve a smoother touchdown.
