Landing on runway 27 at X6BU Bute in the Sirius

Landing Score 92 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as Sirius, successfully landed at X6BU Bute with a final approach score of 92.0%. The pilot executed a precise approach to runway 27 from the east, maintaining a heading of 266.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 293 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the pilot demonstrated good control, achieving a threshold speed of 53 knots. The touchdown point was, however, slightly long, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway. This may indicate a slight overestimation of the aircraft's landing distance or a slight miscalculation of the approach speed. Nevertheless, the touchdown speed of 46 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -106 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.

The total landing distance of 380 meters was 79% of the available runway length of 480 meters. While this may seem excessive, it is worth noting that the pilot achieved a perfect runway rollout alignment, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency.
