Landing Score 90.61 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing C17 touched down on runway 26 at EGBP Cotswold Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, maintaining a steady descent from 146 feet above ground level (agl) at 0 nautical miles from the threshold. The aircraft's threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 43 knots was well below the target, indicating a controlled approach. However, pilots must remain vigilant to avoid stalling the aircraft at this critical phase.

As the C17 made contact with the runway, it demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 58 meters and a touchdown speed of 39 knots, both of which were within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -20 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.

The Boeing C17's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 196 meters, which accounted for only 12% of the runway length, was a testament to the aircraft's excellent braking performance. Overall, the landing was scored 90.6%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
