Landing on runway 11L at SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport in the L-39 Albatros

Landing Score 84.96 %

Landing Summary

The L-39 Albatros aircraft successfully landed at SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport, achieving an overall score of 85.0%. The final approach to runway 11L was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 84.0° at 1 nautical mile and 527 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway that measured 10,494 feet in length, providing ample space for the aircraft to touch down safely.

Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft was found to be at an altitude of 78 feet agl, which was well above the target height. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 100 knots, indicating a slight delay in the aircraft's descent. However, the touchdown point was 602 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.

The touchdown speed of 71 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -138 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a safe and stable landing.

The total landing distance of 2,782 feet was 27% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.

Overall, the L-39 Albatros aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency during the landing, with a smooth and controlled descent, proper alignment with the runway, and a safe touchdown. The minor deviations in altitude and speed were well within acceptable limits, and the favorable weather conditions contributed to a successful landing.
