Landing on runway 12 at KMHV Mojave Airport in the Diamond DA40NG Private Charter

Landing Score 84.52 %

Landing Summary

The Diamond DA40NG Private Charter aircraft successfully landed at KMHV Mojave Airport, achieving a score of 84.5%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 136.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,240 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to runway 12 was executed with precision, with a threshold height of 67 feet agl, which was slightly above the target height.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good control, with a touchdown speed of 64 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -158 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 224°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 3 knots, with no headwind component. The aircraft's ability to handle these conditions was not significantly impacted, allowing for a smooth and controlled landing.

The total landing distance of 1,217 meters was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently, with a runway rollout alignment that was very good. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 84.5%.
