The final approach to runway 35 at CYBW Calgary / Springbank Airport from the south was executed with good quality, characterized by a stable and controlled descent. The aircraft touched down at a height of approximately 304 feet above ground level, meeting the threshold height requirements. The threshold speed of 52 knots was achieved, indicating a well-managed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 47 knots, and the touchdown distance was 204 feet, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -440 feet per minute, suggesting a slight loss of control during the landing phase. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centreline, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a light headwind of 1 knot, did not significantly impact the approach or landing.
The total landing distance of 833 feet was 17% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 38 feet from the centreline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 89.0%.
