The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at KBIL Billings Logan International Airport, achieving a score of 89.7%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 292.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,067 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 28R, which has a length of 3,195 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was too high at 86 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. The touchdown distance of 462 meters was considered good, but the touchdown speed of 88 knots was excessively fast. A lower touchdown speed would have been more desirable to reduce the stress on the aircraft's landing gear.
The touchdown rate of -10 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and maintain a stable descent rate. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 249°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was also 5 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the successful landing.
The total landing distance of 806 meters was 25% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
