Landing on runway 22 at LZIB M.R. Stefanik in the Douglas DC-3

Landing Score 90.66 %

Landing Summary

Great job on your aircraft landing score of 90.7%! Your approach phase was particularly strong, with excellent glideslope alignment and only a slightly below target speed. This shows great skill and precision in maintaining the correct trajectory and speed while descending towards the runway.

During the landing phase, your performance was impressive as well. Your threshold height and landing flare were executed excellently, ensuring a smooth transition from descent to touchdown. Your touchdown rate was good, and maintaining the correct speed at touchdown is crucial for a safe and smooth landing.

It's also worth noting that your touchdown distance was well within the touchdown zone, indicating good judgment and control. Additionally, your runway touchdown position was very good, showing that you were able to place the aircraft precisely where it needed to be on the runway.

However, one area for improvement is the tailwind at the time of landing. Landing with an 11 knot tailwind can be challenging and increases the risk of losing control during the landing phase. It's important to always strive for a headwind during landing to ensure the safest conditions possible.

Another point to work on is the runway alignment during the rollout phase. Being 21.7 meters from the centerline is slightly off, and it's important to ensure proper alignment with the runway to avoid unnecessary deviations and maintain safety.

Overall, your performance during the landing was strong, with many positive aspects to be proud of. Keep up the good work and continue to refine your skills to achieve even higher scores in the future.
