Landing on runway 23 at CD32 Castle Lakes Airport in the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza

Landing Score 94.23 %

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at CD32 Castle Lakes Airport, achieving a score of 94.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 240.0° at 1 nm and 610 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was above the target speed, reaching 89 kt. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and was able to maintain a safe speed during the landing. The touchdown distance of 1,438 ft was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude during the final approach.

However, the touchdown speed of 70 kt was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. The touchdown rate of -122 fpm was smooth, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and avoided any hard landings.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 ft from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 44°F and a wind speed of 5 kt at 192°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 4 kt, which is relatively minimal and should not have significantly impacted the landing. Overall, the pilot's performance during the landing was satisfactory, and the aircraft was brought to a safe stop within 66% of the runway length.
