The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at KGCN Grand Canyon National Park Airport, achieving an overall score of 86.1%. The final approach to runway 21 was initiated from the north-east, heading 222.0° at 1 nautical mile and 425 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a slightly above-target threshold speed of 76 knots, which was likely due to the aircraft's descent rate and airspeed management.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 1,112 feet, indicating a well-executed flare and touchdown. However, the touchdown speed of 67 knots was slightly above the target, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more optimal airspeed during the approach. The touchdown rate of -385 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent and minimal sink rate.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a minor error in the pilot's alignment with the runway. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 5 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and touchdown phases.
