Landing on runway 10 at TFFJ Saint Barthélemy - Rémy de Haenen Airport in the microsoft-aircraft-pa28-236-dakota [FRNGS]

Landing Score 89.88 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, a Microsoft-simulated PA28-236 Dakota, successfully landed at TFFJ Saint Barthélemy - Rémy de Haenen Airport, achieving a score of 89.9%. The final approach to runway 10 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 83.0° at 1 nautical mile and 999 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed descent.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 84 knots. However, the touchdown point was located very far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available 2,106-foot runway length. This suggests that the aircraft may have been slightly too fast during the approach, resulting in a longer than necessary landing distance.

The touchdown speed of 68 knots was also a bit faster than ideal, which may have contributed to the extended landing distance. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -193 feet per minute (fpm) was satisfactory, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating precise control and navigation skills.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle wind of 5 knots from 267°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the tailwind component was 5 knots, which may have contributed to the extended landing distance.

The total landing distance of 1,823 feet was 87% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively long landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, but with some room for improvement in terms of approach speed and touchdown point.
