The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 17.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 97 knots, but this did not affect the overall outcome of the landing. The touchdown distance of 812 feet was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 92 knots was also good. The touchdown rate of -189 feet per minute (fpm) was within the desired range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a light wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was negligible at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a stable and predictable approach.

The total landing distance of 1,898 feet was 26% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 99.5%.
