Landing on runway 17 at 16SC Southern Aero Sports in the PA28 Warrior II

Landing Score 93.46 %

Landing Summary

Overall, your aircraft landing score of 93.5% is quite impressive! Let's break down the different phases of the landing to understand where improvements can be made.

In the Approach Phase, there were some areas that could use some improvement. The descent path was above the glideslope limit and the speed was too high. This suggests the need to be more mindful of maintaining the correct altitude and speed during the approach to ensure a smoother landing.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's great to see that the threshold height was good and the landing flare was executed well. However, the speed was above target, which can affect the overall smoothness of the touchdown. It's important to work on maintaining the correct speed throughout the landing phase.

In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was smooth, which is fantastic. The touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone is also a positive point. However, the speed was still above target, so focusing on maintaining the correct speed will be beneficial. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being slightly off centerline is something to keep in mind for future landings.

Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was slightly off centerline. This is an area where attention can be paid to ensure a straight rollout towards the designated landing spot.

Overall, your landing score is already quite high, but there are areas where improvements can be made to achieve an even smoother landing. Keep practicing and paying attention to details during each phase of the landing to continue improving your skills. Great job overall, and keep up the good work!
