Landing Score 99.96 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C182 aircraft successfully landed at KBDU Boulder Municipal Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The final approach to runway 08 was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 91.0° at 1 nautical mile and 640 feet above ground level (agl). This precise approach allowed the pilot to maintain control and execute a smooth landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on the runway at a speed of 54 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 55 knots. This indicates that the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's descent and speed to achieve a controlled touchdown. The touchdown distance of 241 feet was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft to a safe landing.

The landing rate was smooth, with a rate of -119 feet per minute (fpm), which is a testament to the pilot's skill and experience. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained the aircraft's heading and alignment with the runway during the final approach and touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 45°F and a wind speed of 0 knots from 270°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more challenging and impressive.

The total landing distance of 938 feet was only 24% of the runway length, which is an excellent result. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and safely, without overrunning the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a well-executed and safe landing, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skill and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
