Landing on runway 20R at KSNA John Wayne Orange County International Airport in the DA40-XLS

Landing Score 95.31 %

Landing Summary

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at KSNA John Wayne Orange County International Airport, achieving a score of 95.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 209.0° at 1 nautical mile and 508 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 20R, which has a length of 1,737 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 63 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 209 meters, and the touchdown speed of 53 knots was also within acceptable limits.

The touchdown rate of -235 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 220°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions likely contributed to a stable and controlled approach.

The total landing distance of 437 meters was 25% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll and was able to bring it to a stop in a straight line. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling.
