Landing on runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) in the Douglas DC-3
Landing Score 91.51 %
Landing Summary

Overall, the aircraft landing score of 91.5% indicates a very solid performance during the landing process.

During the Approach Phase, the pilot demonstrated excellent glideslope alignment, which is crucial for a smooth and safe landing. Additionally, achieving a slightly below target threshold speed of 74 knots shows good control and precision in managing the aircraft's descent.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is noted that the threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was brought down to the runway at an appropriate altitude. The very good landing flare suggests that the pilot executed a smooth transition from descent to touchdown, minimizing any potential impact forces upon landing.

In the Touchdown Phase, the smooth touchdown rate of -119 ft/m reflects a gentle touchdown, reducing stress on the landing gear and ensuring a comfortable experience for passengers. The touchdown speed of 63 knots is commendable, as it falls within the optimal range for the aircraft type.

Furthermore, the touchdown distance of 367 meters is within acceptable parameters, indicating that the aircraft touched down at an appropriate point along the runway. However, it is worth noting that the slight misalignment of 9.1 meters from the centerline could be improved upon in future landings to enhance precision and safety.

Overall, this landing performance demonstrates a high level of skill and proficiency on the part of the pilot. By maintaining excellent glideslope alignment, executing a smooth landing flare, and achieving appropriate touchdown parameters, the pilot has shown a strong command of the aircraft during the landing phase. With some minor adjustments to touchdown position alignment, the landing score could be further improved, leading to even more consistent and precise landings in the future. Congratulations on a job well done!
