Landing on runway 20 at EGKA Brighton City Airport in the Gabriel Racing

Landing Score 91.2 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, Gabriel Racing, successfully landed on runway 20 at EGKA Brighton City Airport, achieving a score of 91.2%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 211.0° at 1 nautical mile and 780 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision, ensuring a smooth touchdown.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 48 knots, which was slightly below the threshold speed of 63 knots. The touchdown point was located very far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available length. However, this did not compromise the safety of the landing, and the pilot maintained control throughout the rollout.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 210°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 11 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the approach and landing.

The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 604 meters, which accounted for approximately 80% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control and braking power to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also reported to be very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing.

Overall, the landing was deemed successful, with the pilot demonstrating good airmanship and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The score of 91.2% reflects the high standard of flying achieved by the Gabriel Racing aircraft.
