Landing on runway 04 at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport in the PA34T SENECA V

Landing Score 95.66 %

Landing Summary

The PA34T Seneca V aircraft successfully landed at RPVM Mactan Cebu International Airport, achieving a high score of 95.7%. The final approach to runway 04 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 30.0° at 1 nautical mile and 245 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, taking into account the local weather conditions.

The temperature at the time of landing was 28°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 340°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway, ensuring a perfect touchdown alignment. The threshold height was also good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed, registering at 84 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 67 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -57 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was 121 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within acceptable limits.

Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, taking into account the local weather conditions and the aircraft's performance. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled descent, resulting in a high score of 95.7%.
