Landing on runway 06 at PAVD Valdez Pioneer Field in the DA62

Landing Score 99.14 %

Landing Summary

The DA62 aircraft successfully landed at PAVD Valdez Pioneer Field, achieving a high score of 99.1%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 82.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,053 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 06.

The runway at PAVD Valdez Pioneer Field has a length of 6,470 feet, providing a sufficient margin for the DA62's landing. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 86 knots was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown distance was good at 969 feet, which is a relatively short distance considering the runway's length. However, the touchdown speed of 72 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to flare the aircraft slightly earlier than necessary. Despite this, the touchdown rate was smooth at -129 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft's descent was well-controlled.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 36°F and winds of 8 knots from 35°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was also 6 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.

The total landing distance of 2,195 feet was 34% of the runway's length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, the DA62's landing at PAVD Valdez Pioneer Field was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
