Landing report
Landing on runway 17 at CYSW Sparwood Elk Valley Airport in the North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco
Landing Score 74.82 %
Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 17 at CYSW Sparwood Elk Valley Airport from the north was initiated at 4 nm and 987 ft above ground level, heading 191.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 76 kt, indicating a possible slight delay in the flare.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 86 m and a touchdown speed of 72 kt, both of which were within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -704 fpm, which may have contributed to the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position by 20.0 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a 6 kt headwind, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.

The total landing distance of 503 m was 42% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. Unfortunately, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 17.6 m from the centreline, indicating a possible issue with the aircraft's directional control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 83.2%, with room for improvement in terms of threshold speed and directional control during the rollout phase.

Flare
80.29 %
The flare wandered off the target profile. The flare took the sink out 1 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft flew down from there. Touchdown was 91 m past the threshold. Let it come lower before checking the descent - holding off high uses runway and leaves the touchdown to chance.
