Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Landing report
Landing on runway 17 at KSMN Lemhi County Airport in the North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco
Landing Score 77.6 %
Landing Summary

The OV-10 Bronco aircraft successfully landed at KSMN Lemhi County Airport, achieving a score of 77.6%. The final approach to runway 17 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 187.0° at 1 nautical mile and 291 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 1,680 meters.

During the landing, the threshold height at 100 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly higher than desired at this point. However, the threshold speed was only slightly above the target at 96 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was not excessively fast at the threshold. The touchdown distance of 333 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 89 knots was also within acceptable limits.

Despite the good touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was hard at -474 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate that the aircraft touched down with a relatively high rate of descent. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway at touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 657 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance.

The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and aligned path during the rollout phase. Overall, while there were some minor issues with the landing, the OV-10 Bronco aircraft demonstrated good performance and control during the landing at KSMN Lemhi County Airport.
