Landing on runway 02L at KSNA John Wayne Orange County International Airport in the DA42-VI

Landing Score 98.17 %

Landing Summary

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed on runway 02L at KSNA John Wayne Orange County International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.2%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 32.0° at 2 nautical miles and 772 feet above ground level (agl). This approach angle and distance allowed the aircraft to make a precise touchdown on the runway.

The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 79 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother touchdown.

The touchdown distance of 243 meters was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 64 kt was also good. The touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute (fpm) was within the safe limits, indicating that the aircraft touched down smoothly and did not experience any significant deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing.

The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 0 kt at 360°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more straightforward. The total landing distance of 425 meters was only 24% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown.

Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and control during the landing. The aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline throughout the rollout, ensuring a safe and controlled stop. Overall, the landing was a success, and the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and come to a stop within a short distance.
