Landing on runway 10 at LIMJ Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport in the DA50

Landing Score 97.39 %

Landing Summary

The DA50 aircraft successfully landed at LIMJ Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport, achieving a high score of 97.4%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 102.0° at 2 nautical miles and 500 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 10, which has a length of 2,756 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 73 knots was also met, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 207 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.

The touchdown speed of 67 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, but still within a safe range. The touchdown rate of -330 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating that the aircraft touched down with a controlled rate of descent. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and wind speeds of 7 knots at 259°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. These conditions suggest that the pilot had a relatively easy landing, with minimal wind resistance to contend with. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and within the designated runway area.
