The aircraft carried a score of 66.2 % and encountered local conditions of 82 °F temperature, wind 3 kt from 160°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.

At threshold the height of 104 ft agl was reported as excessively over target, while the threshold speed of 113 kt was slightly below target.

Touchdown occurred 1,992 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 114 kt that was a little fast, and the aircraft settled with a very hard rate of minus 596 fpm. The touchdown point was significantly misaligned by 70 ft from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 4,734 ft, representing 48 % of the 9,822 ft runway.

Refine flare technique to achieve a softer touchdown rate and concentrate on precise alignment at touchdown to reduce lateral deviation on the runway. Maintaining a more accurate centreline track will also improve rollout alignment.
