The flight in the Sirius by FSReborn began with a departure roll from runway 29 at NZMF Milford Sound. The takeoff distance was 290 meters, which equated to 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 65 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was reported as 15°C with a light wind of 1 knot coming from 270°, resulting in minimal crosswind and headwind conditions.

The pilot performed a left-hand pattern entry from runway 29 at NZMF Milford Sound, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 120 seconds. This was followed by a left-hand pattern crosswind from the same runway, covering a similar distance in just 22 seconds.

During the pattern, the aircraft executed a downwind turn at a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 20.0°. The downwind leg was then covered in 75 seconds over 2 nautical miles, followed by a base leg turn at a distance of 1 nautical mile with an angle to the runway of 8.4°.

The landing on runway 29 at NZMF Milford Sound was completed with a runway length of 774 meters. The height at threshold was 39 feet above ground level, with a speed of 58 knots. The touchdown occurred at a distance of 299 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 50 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -38 ft/min. The local weather conditions during landing were again reported as 15°C with a light wind of 1 knot from 270°.

The total landing distance covered was 483 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 4 nautical miles, taking 113 seconds to complete. No fuel was consumed during this flight.

Landing Summary

First of all, congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 98.3%! Your performance clearly demonstrates skill and proficiency in handling the aircraft during various phases of the landing process.

Let's break down your landing performance to further analyze each phase and provide feedback for improvement. During the Approach Phase, it was noted that the descent path was slightly above the glideslope limit and the speed was slightly above the target. While this may have impacted the overall approach quality, it is important to ensure closer adherence to the glideslope limit and target speed in future landings to enhance accuracy and safety.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is commendable that you had a good threshold height and executed a perfect landing flare. These aspects contribute significantly to a smooth and controlled touchdown, indicating a high level of proficiency in handling the aircraft during this critical phase.

In the Touchdown Phase, your performance was particularly notable. Despite the speed being slightly above target, the touchdown rate was perfect, and the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone was achieved. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was very good, showcasing precision and control in executing the touchdown smoothly and accurately.

Finally, in the Rollout Phase, it was observed that the runway alignment was very good. Maintaining proper alignment during rollout is crucial for a safe and efficient landing, and your ability to achieve this demonstrates a strong understanding of aircraft control and handling.

Overall, your landing performance was of a high standard, with specific areas for improvement identified in the Approach Phase in terms of descent path and speed control. By focusing on these areas and striving for even greater precision and consistency in all phases of the landing process, you can continue to elevate your skills and achieve even higher landing scores in the future. Keep up the good work and maintain your dedication to excellence in aircraft operations. Well done!
