Landing on runway 22 at LFLJ Courchevel Altiport in the Cessna 172

Landing Score 99.5 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna 172 aircraft successfully landed at LFLJ Courchevel Altiport, achieving a score of 99.5%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 224.0° at 1 nautical mile and 197 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course, positioning itself for a smooth landing on runway 22.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering at 71 knots. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.

The touchdown distance of 612 feet was satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 54 knots was well within the desired range. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was perfectly controlled at 1,007 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot maintained a steady and controlled descent, minimizing the risk of a hard landing.

The runway touchdown alignment was also spot on, demonstrating the pilot's excellent control and precision. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 31°F and a gentle wind of 1 knot at 7°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.

The total landing distance of 1,277 feet was 71% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the runway's length of 1,789 feet. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process.

Overall, the Cessna 172 aircraft performed an excellent landing at LFLJ Courchevel Altiport, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
