Landing on runway 36 at KMDQ Madison County Executive Airport-Tom Sharp Jr Field in the Cessna Longitude

Landing Score 89.64 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Longitude aircraft successfully landed at KMDQ Madison County Executive Airport-Tom Sharp Jr Field, but the landing was not without some issues. The final approach to runway 36 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 1.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,522 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 69 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone.

The touchdown speed of 142 knots was excessively fast, and the threshold speed of 146 knots was also higher than expected. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -336 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline, which could have contributed to the issues with the touchdown speed and position.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 12°C. The total landing distance of 1,109 meters was 56% of the available runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This suggests that the aircraft may have been slowed down more quickly than expected, resulting in a shorter landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline, which could have contributed to the issues with the landing.

Overall, while the Cessna Longitude aircraft was able to land safely at KMDQ Madison County Executive Airport-Tom Sharp Jr Field, the landing was not without some issues. The pilot may have benefited from additional training or practice to improve their ability to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown and to maintain a more accurate alignment with the runway centerline.
