Landing on runway 36 at MPEJ Enrique Adolfo Jimenez Airport in the Sirius

Landing Score 76.35 %

Landing Summary

The Sirius aircraft successfully landed on runway 36 at Enrique Adolfo Jimenez Airport, achieving a score of 76.3%. The landing was conducted under favorable local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30 °C and a gentle wind of 3 kn at 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and no headwind.

The aircraft's approach to the runway was slightly off-target, as the threshold height at 97 ft above ground level (agl) was significantly above the desired level. However, the pilot managed to adjust the approach to achieve a touchdown speed of 40 kn, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 361 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have been slightly late in initiating the flare.

The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -114 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot successfully transitioned from the landing phase to the rollout phase.

One area for improvement identified in this landing was the threshold speed, which was too high at 69 kn. This may have been due to the pilot's initial approach being slightly off-target, resulting in a higher-than-expected speed at touchdown. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the Sirius aircraft during this landing was satisfactory, and with some adjustments to the approach and touchdown speed, the pilot can aim to achieve an even higher score in future landings.
