Landing Score 93.27 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at SDIM Itanhaém Airport, achieving a score of 93.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 287.0° at an altitude of 73 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot executed a smooth final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway threshold.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 33, which has a length of 1,352 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly higher than ideal at 82 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 340 meters was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 68 knots was a bit fast, but the touchdown rate of -118 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even smoother. The total landing distance of 793 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's performance.

The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases. Overall, the landing was executed well, with the pilot demonstrating good control and adherence to standard procedures. The score of 93.3% reflects the high quality of the landing, with only minor areas for improvement identified.
