Landing on runway 28 at CEA3 Olds-Didsbury Airport in the AA-5B (N28672)

Landing Score 67.76 %

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 28 at CEA3 Olds-Didsbury Airport was initiated from the east, heading 282.0° at 0 nm and 576 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 57 ft agl, slightly above the target. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 92 kt, indicating a potential for a long rollout.

The aircraft touched down 188 ft beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 53 kt, which was good. The touchdown rate of -80 fpm was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 35 ft from the centreline, which could have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway rollout alignment of 33 ft from the centreline.

The total landing distance of 2,154 ft was 59% of the runway length, indicating a relatively long rollout. Despite the misalignment issues, the overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory, with a score of 67.8%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 60°F and a light headwind of 1 kt, were conducive to a safe and controlled landing.
