The aircraft touched down on runway 31L at KPSP Palm Springs International Airport, a 1,682-meter-long runway, with a good threshold height. The approach quality was excellent, with a threshold speed of 85 knots, which was well within the acceptable range. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down at a speed of 82 knots, slightly above the ideal touchdown speed. However, the touchdown rate of -84 feet per minute was exceptional, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The aircraft's touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5 meters, but the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and direction during the critical phase of flight. The total landing distance of 705 meters, accounting for 42% of the runway, was within acceptable limits. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 2 knots, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
Overall, the landing was highly successful, with a score of 98.9%. The pilot's skill and attention to detail were evident throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. While there were minor deviations from ideal performance, the aircraft's handling and the pilot's control were consistently impressive, resulting in a safe and efficient landing.
