Landing on runway 02 at KBMI Central Illinois Regional Airport at Bloomington-Normal in the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche

Landing Score 91.72 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at KBMI Central Illinois Regional Airport at Bloomington-Normal, achieving a score of 91.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 18.0° at 2 nautical miles and 763 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 68 knots. The touchdown distance of 376 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing process. The touchdown speed of 44 knots was within the recommended limits, and the touchdown rate of -155 feet per minute was also good, signifying a smooth and controlled descent.

However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline, 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 10.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been caused by a similar issue.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and judgment during the approach and landing phases.
