Landing on runway 27 at KSAN San Diego International Airport in the DA42-VI

Landing Score 96.49 %

Landing Summary

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at San Diego International Airport (KSAN) on runway 27, achieving a high score of 96.5%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 286.0° at 1 nautical mile and 448 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled descent into the airport.

Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height, which is the height at which the aircraft touches down on the runway. The threshold speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft should touch down on the runway, was also good at 71 knots. This suggests that the pilot maintained a steady and controlled approach speed.

The touchdown distance, which is the distance from the point where the aircraft touches down on the runway to the point where it comes to a stop, was also good at 1,266 feet. This is a relatively short distance, indicating that the pilot made a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft touches down on the runway, was good at 61 knots, and the touchdown rate, which is the rate at which the aircraft descends onto the runway, was good at -151 feet per minute (fpm).

The runway touchdown alignment, which refers to the alignment of the aircraft with the runway at the point of touchdown, was very good. This suggests that the pilot maintained a precise and controlled approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway at the correct angle.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from 274°. The crosswind, which is the wind blowing perpendicular to the runway, was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind, which is the wind blowing directly into the aircraft, was 8 knots. These conditions made the landing relatively easy and straightforward.

The total landing distance, which is the distance from the point where the aircraft begins its descent onto the runway to the point where it comes to a stop, was 1,861 feet, which is 27% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating that the pilot made a smooth and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment, which refers to the alignment of the aircraft with the runway as it comes to a stop, was also very good. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
