Landing Score 99.2 %

Landing Summary

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at KFHR Friday Harbor Airport, achieving a score of 99.2%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 179.0° at 1 nautical mile and 391 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated precise control and navigation skills, ultimately landing on runway 16.

The landing was executed with a good threshold height, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and controlled touchdown. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 66 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed. Nevertheless, this did not compromise the overall performance of the landing.

The touchdown distance of 878 feet was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 55 knots was also satisfactory. The rate of descent was smooth, with a rate of -124 feet per minute (fpm), which is indicative of a well-controlled approach. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to accurately navigate the aircraft onto the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 66°F. The total landing distance of 1,518 feet was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and expertise. The score of 99.2% is a testament to the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently, even in challenging conditions.
