Landing on runway 03 at KSMO Santa Monica Municipal Airport in the Pesim FPV Drone Racer

Landing Score 96.17 %

Landing Summary

The Pesim FPV Drone Racer successfully completed a landing at KSMO Santa Monica Municipal Airport, achieving a high score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 44.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 620 feet above ground level (agl). This precise approach allowed the drone to maintain a good threshold height, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing.

Upon touchdown, the drone's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 87 knots. This indicates that the drone had sufficient energy to absorb any minor deviations from the intended landing path. The touchdown distance of 1,523 feet was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the drone's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing process. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 59 knots was well within the target range, and the touchdown rate of -11 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from 109°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. Despite these wind conditions, the drone was able to maintain perfect runway touchdown alignment, which is a testament to its stability and control systems.

The total landing distance of 2,553 feet was 51% of the runway length, indicating that the drone was able to maintain control and stability throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the drone's ability to maintain control and stability after touchdown. Overall, the Pesim FPV Drone Racer's landing at KSMO Santa Monica Municipal Airport was a success, with the drone demonstrating its ability to navigate challenging weather conditions and maintain control and stability throughout the landing process.
