Landing Score 95.63 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, a Pipistrel 121SW, successfully landed at F62 Hayfork, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach to runway 25 was executed from the east, with a heading of 272.0° at an altitude of 270 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 63 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, this did not seem to affect the overall performance of the landing, as the touchdown distance of 333 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed of 41 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -62 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a headwind of 5 knots, which did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots.

The total landing distance of 387 meters was 31% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing, resulting in a smooth and efficient touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance capabilities. The high score of 95.6% reflects the excellence of the landing, and it is clear that the pilot was able to execute a precise and controlled touchdown on the runway.
