Landing on runway 29 at YHOT Mount Hotham Airport in the Cessna Longitude

Landing Score 82.03 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Longitude aircraft successfully landed at YHOT Mount Hotham Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The pilot's final approach to runway 29 from the south east, heading 304.0° at 4 nm and 1,128 ft above ground level (agl), was executed, but the touchdown was not ideal.

The aircraft landed on the runway, which has a length of 1,458 meters, but the threshold height was good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient clearance to touch down safely. However, the threshold speed was too high at 140 kt, which may have contributed to the subsequent issues with the landing.

The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway, which suggests that the pilot may have been unable to arrest the aircraft's descent in time. The touchdown speed of 116 kt was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -411 fpm was hard, indicating that the aircraft may have been subjected to a significant amount of stress during the landing.

Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's inability to maintain a perfectly aligned approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 0°C and winds of 14 kt at 344°, may have also played a role in the challenges faced during the landing.

The crosswind component of 9 kt and the headwind component of 11 kt may have made the landing more difficult, but the pilot's ability to maintain a good runway rollout alignment was a positive aspect of the landing. The total landing distance of 1,272 meters, which is 87% of the runway, suggests that the pilot may have been able to recover from the initial issues and bring the aircraft to a safe stop.

Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a safe stop, and the good runway rollout alignment suggests that the pilot's skills and experience were still evident despite the challenges faced during the landing.
