Landing on runway 09 at FBMQ Rann Airport in the Cessna 208B

Landing Score 84.84 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at FBMQ Rann Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing techniques. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 88.0° at 2 nautical miles and 760 feet above ground level (agl), which is a standard distance and altitude for a safe approach.

The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The threshold speed at 50 knots was significantly below the target speed, indicating that the pilot was taking necessary precautions to avoid stalling the aircraft. This is a critical aspect of safe landing procedures, as stalling can lead to loss of control and potentially catastrophic consequences.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was equally impressive. The touchdown distance of 52 meters was good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the approach. The touchdown speed of 48 knots was also within acceptable limits, further demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise. The touchdown rate of -326 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, but not excessively high, suggesting that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown.

One of the most notable aspects of this landing was the perfect runway touchdown alignment. This indicates that the pilot had maintained precise control and alignment throughout the approach, ensuring a safe and controlled touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -53°C and a wind speed of 0 knots, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing, and the pilot was able to execute a smooth and controlled touchdown.

The total landing distance of 992 meters was 100% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's speed and descent to touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the rollout phase.

Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of proficiency and expertise on the part of the pilot, and highlights the importance of careful planning, precise control, and attention to detail in executing a safe and successful landing.
