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

Landing Score 95.93 %

Landing Summary

Overall, this aircraft landing score of 95.9% is a very impressive result, showcasing the skill and precision of the pilot throughout the different phases of the landing process.

While the Approach Phase had some areas for improvement with the descent path slightly above the glideslope limit and the speed slightly below target, it is important to acknowledge the good threshold height and very good landing flare during the Landing Phase. These aspects demonstrate the pilot's ability to make necessary adjustments and corrections to ensure a safe and smooth landing.

The Touchdown Phase truly shines with an excellent touchdown rate and on-target speed, resulting in a touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone. Additionally, the runway touchdown position, only 6.1 meters from the centerline, indicates a high level of accuracy and precision.

Similarly, the Rollout Phase showcases strong performance with a runway alignment only 5.9 meters from the centerline. This level of precision is crucial in ensuring the aircraft remains safely on the runway during the rollout process.

Overall, this landing score reflects a commendable level of skill and proficiency in aircraft handling. It is clear that the pilot demonstrated excellent decision-making, technical proficiency, and a keen attention to detail throughout the landing process. With continued practice and refinement, even higher scores can be achieved in the future. Congratulations on a job well done!
