Landing on runway 31 at CYVR Vancouver International Airport in the DA42-VI

Landing Score 96.17 %

Landing Summary

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) on runway 31, achieving a high score of 96.2%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 324.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,604 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a threshold height slightly above the target at 60 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was well within the acceptable range at 71 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,551 feet was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 60 knots was within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -88 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, as the aircraft maintained a very good runway touchdown alignment.

The total landing distance of 2,285 feet was 31% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was a success, with the DA42-VI aircraft demonstrating a high degree of skill and precision in its approach and touchdown.
