The Cessna Longitude successfully landed on runway 18R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, achieving a score of 95.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 13,436 feet.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was significantly above the target speed of 128 kt. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more aggressively, resulting in a slightly longer landing distance. The touchdown point was 341 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 119 kt was faster than the target speed, contributing to a touchdown rate of -223 feet per minute (fpm), which was considered fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 kt at 270°, were relatively calm, with no significant crosswind or headwind affecting the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,551 feet was 26% of the runway's length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline, indicating that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Cessna Longitude's landing on runway 18R at KDFW was a successful operation, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and rollout alignment.
