What went well

Touched down at -131 ft/m — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 0.83 m off the centreline, no bounce
1.16 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Enroute Descent — stall warning; bank angle up to 179.2 ° at 0 %, g force -1.43 to 3.69 g at 37 %, −7.71 points
Arrival Landing — Landing and flare profile at 0 %, −7.17 points
Enroute Climb — bank angle up to 118.7 ° at 0 %, g force 0.23 to 2.37 g at 75 %, −7.08 points

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 29 at MDST Cibao International Airport in the Pilatus PC-6
Landing Score 75.29 %
Landing Summary

The Pilatus PC-6 aircraft successfully landed on runway 29 at MDST Cibao International Airport, achieving a score of 75.3%. The landing was evaluated based on several key parameters, including threshold height, threshold speed, touchdown point, touchdown speed, and touchdown rate.

One of the notable aspects of this landing was the threshold height, which was significantly above the target at 87 ft agl. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 63 kt, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the approach. The touchdown point was 62 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation and may not have significantly impacted the overall safety of the landing.

The touchdown speed of 48 kt was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating that the pilot managed to slow down the aircraft effectively and smoothly. The touchdown rate of -131 fpm was smooth, indicating that the pilot maintained control and avoided any sudden or harsh deceleration. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24 °C. This suggests that the pilot did not have to contend with any adverse weather conditions that might have impacted the landing. Overall, while there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, the pilot demonstrated good control and stability during the landing, resulting in a satisfactory score of 75.3%.
