The Honda HA420 aircraft successfully landed at the Spirit of St. Louis Airport (KSUS) on runway 26L, achieving a score of 97.1%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 106 knots, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 1,501 feet was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 95 knots was also satisfactory. The touchdown rate of -131 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a gentle impact on the runway.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight miscalculation of the aircraft's position or a minor deviation in the pilot's control inputs. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline, which may have been a result of the same factors.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was minimal, which contributed to a smooth landing. Overall, the Honda HA420 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in landing at the Spirit of St. Louis Airport, with only minor deviations from the ideal performance.
