Landing on runway 13 at KMMU Morristown Municipal Airport in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 97.71 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at KMMU Morristown Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 97.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 112.0° at an altitude of 149 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 13, which has a length of 1,216 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 54 knots. This indicates that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's speed effectively during the approach. The touchdown distance of 179 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely to the ground.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 42 knots, which is a good indication of the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent and touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -249 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the descent more efficiently. This may be an area for improvement in future flights.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline, which is a minor deviation from the ideal landing position. Nevertheless, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 359°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more challenging.

The total landing distance of 265 meters was 22% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot executed the landing with precision and control. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing at KMMU Morristown Municipal Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of managing the descent and touchdown rate.
