Landing on runway 25L at KMKE General Mitchell International Airport in the RJ85

Landing Score 98.01 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft involved in this landing was a RJ85 model, which achieved a commendable score of 98.0%. The final approach to runway 25L at General Mitchell International Airport (KMKE) was conducted from the east, following a heading of 252.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,586 feet above ground level (agl).

As the RJ85 began its descent onto runway 25L, which spans 2,391 meters in length, it adhered to a good threshold height, ensuring a smooth and controlled approach. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the targeted value, registering at 127 knots. Despite this minor deviation, the aircraft's landing performance remained satisfactory.

Upon touchdown, the RJ85 demonstrated a well-executed landing by achieving a good touchdown speed of 114 knots and a satisfactory touchdown rate of -190 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was also spot on, indicating accurate positioning of the aircraft.

The external conditions at the time of landing contributed positively to the safe and controlled approach. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -4 °C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots, originating from a direction of 250°. Notably, there was no crosswind present, as the wind speed at the crosswind component was zero knots. The absence of a significant crosswind minimized the impact of wind on the aircraft's descent and alignment.

In terms of total landing distance, the RJ85 covered a distance of 927 meters, which is equivalent to 39% of the runway length. This falls within the acceptable range for an aircraft of its type and size. Ultimately, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the RJ85 maintained excellent control and stability during the landing phase, coming to a stop in a well-aligned position at the end of the runway.
