Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 05 was flown on a heading of 53.0 ° from the south-west, descending to 2 ft agl at the threshold with a distance of 0 nm. Local weather was 14 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 274 °, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt tailwind component.

At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 70 kt. The aircraft continued the flare and prepared for touchdown.

Touchdown occurred 322 m down the runway at a speed of 56 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 22 fpm and runway-touchdown alignment described as very good.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 618 m, representing 19 % of the 3,225 m runway, and runway-rollout alignment was perfect.

With a score of 99.2 % the landing was excellent; the only noticeable deviation was the threshold speed being slightly below the target, so fine-tuning the approach speed to match the target will tighten the margin. Maintaining the current touchdown point and alignment will preserve the high performance demonstrated.
