Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 05 at FCBB Maya-Maya Airport was flown from the south-west on a heading of 50.0° at 4 nm and 1,326 ft agl, with temperature 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt tail-wind component.

At the threshold the height was 58 ft agl, which was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was 144 kt, also slightly above target.

Touchdown occurred 98 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 136 kt, described as a little fast, and the aircraft settled at a firm rate of minus 371 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,159 m, representing 35 % of the 3,294 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.

Refine the flare to achieve touchdown within the designated zone and reduce speed to the target range, which will further improve touchdown placement and rate. Adjust speed management on final to keep the threshold speed on target, ensuring a smoother transition to the flare.
