Landing on runway 03 at LTAE Akinci AB in the DA40-NG

Landing Score 90.45 %

Landing Summary

Overall, the aircraft landing score of 90.5% indicates a very solid performance, with room for improvement in a few key areas.

During the Approach Phase, the descent path was slightly above the glideslope limit, indicating that adjustments could be made to ensure a smoother descent towards the runway. Additionally, the speed was slightly below target, which could have contributed to the threshold height being above the target during the Landing Phase.

Despite these minor deviations, the Landing Phase showed some positive aspects, such as a good landing flare and an excellent touchdown rate. The speed during touchdown was on target, which is crucial for a safe and controlled landing. However, the touchdown point being 105 m beyond the touchdown zone suggests the need for better precision and alignment during the approach.

Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was slightly off, with the aircraft landing 2.6 m from the centerline. Improving alignment during the Rollout Phase could help to ensure a smoother exit from the runway.

Overall, while the landing had some areas for improvement, the strong performance in key areas like touchdown rate and touchdown speed indicate that with some adjustments and practice, an even higher landing score could be achieved in the future. Keep up the good work and continue to focus on precision and consistency to refine your landing technique.
