Landing on runway 07R at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in the Cessna 208B

Landing Score 86.38 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed on runway 07R at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, achieving an overall score of 86.4%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 96.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 841 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 74 knots. The touchdown distance of 131 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 70 knots was a little fast, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's decision to touch down slightly earlier than planned.

The touchdown rate of -85 feet per minute (fpm) was an excellent indicator of the aircraft's controlled descent and ability to absorb the impact of landing. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a miscalculation of the approach path.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 107°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach and landing.

Overall, the Cessna 208B aircraft demonstrated a good level of proficiency during the landing, with a few minor deviations from the ideal performance. However, the pilot's ability to maintain control and make adjustments as needed ensured a safe and successful landing on runway 07R at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
