Landing on runway 18 at 7PA3 Charles G. Kalko Airport in the DA42-VI

Landing Score 96.98 %

Landing Summary

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at 7PA3 Charles G. Kalko Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 168.0° at 2 nautical miles and 638 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach speed and altitude were well-managed, setting it up for a smooth touchdown.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 71 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 72 knots. However, this minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 58 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had a good sense of spatial awareness and control.

One area for improvement noted in the report was the touchdown rate, which was recorded at -479 feet per minute (fpm). This is considered a hard touchdown, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to absorb the impact more smoothly. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and alignment throughout the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 35°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 220°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a relatively straightforward landing, with the total landing distance of 260 meters being only 33% of the runway length.

The rollout alignment after touchdown was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the DA42-VI aircraft's landing at 7PA3 Charles G. Kalko Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency.
