Landing on runway 29 at KSBP San Luis County Regional Airport in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 95.7 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at KSBP San Luis County Regional Airport, achieving a score of 95.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 307.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,906 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 29, which has a length of 1,464 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly higher than ideal at 74 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 232 meters was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 63 knots was a bit faster than recommended, but the touchdown rate of -223 feet per minute (fpm) was fair.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 310°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth landing.

The total landing distance of 455 meters was 31% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing at KSBP San Luis County Regional Airport was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach and landing.
