The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the PC-24 Air Ambulance taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LTBQ Cengiz Topel Airport, taking approximately 7 minutes to cover less than a mile. Departing runway 27, the aircraft had a takeoff distance of 860 meters, which accounted for about 31% of the runway length. The liftoff speed reached 132 knots.
Local weather conditions consisted of a temperature of 30°C, with winds at 8 knots coming from a direction of 16°. The aircraft experienced a 7-knot crosswind but also had a minor tailwind component of 1 knot.
Following a successful takeoff, the aircraft initiated an enroute climb out of LTBQ Cengiz Topel Airport, ascending from 1,189 feet to 45,771 feet above sea level, increasing its altitude by 44,582 feet over the course of 18 minutes while covering 103 nautical miles.
Once the enroute climb phase concluded, the aircraft entered a level cruise, lasting 42 minutes and covering 368 nautical miles. This leg of the flight began approximately 7 miles southwest of LTBZ Zafer Airport, Altıntaş, Kuetahya, Turkey.
Further along the flight, the aircraft began its enroute descent, this time from 45,871 feet above sea level to 1,153 feet, decreasing its altitude by 44,718 feet over the course of 24 minutes while covering 127 nautical miles. The descent occurred approximately 101 miles southwest of R084, Cyprus Static Carrier - Queen Elizabeth, Akrotiri and Dhekelia, Cyprus.
As the aircraft approached its final destination, it performed a right-hand pattern entry, turning into traffic for runway 25 at HE22 Baloza Airport, and began its pattern. The aircraft completed a downwind turn with a distance of 2 nautical miles in 41 seconds, downwind leg at 2 nautical miles in 10 seconds, base leg turn over a distance of 3 nautical miles with an angle of 0.0°, and a base leg at less than 1 nautical mile in 13 seconds.
Finally, the PC-24 Air Ambulance executed a final turn into runway 25 at HE22 Baloza Airport, which was 1,426 meters long, with a good threshold height. Upon landing, the aircraft had a threshold speed slightly below its target at 102 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's landing distance was good at 105 meters, with a touchdown speed of 99 knots, which was acceptable. The touchdown rate was firm at -312 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly off-center, being misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centreline.
Local weather conditions at the final destination consisted of a temperature of 30°C and winds of 9 knots coming from a direction of 13°, with a minor tailwind component of 4 knots and a crosswind of 8 knots.
Upon completion of the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, requiring less than a minute and covering less than a nautical mile to return to its parking location. The total flight distance was 608 nautical miles, lasting 91 minutes, and consumed 1,238 kilograms of fuel.
A recent air ambulance landing by the Pilatus PC-24 has been recorded and analyzed, yielding a remarkable score of 98.2%. The aircraft successfully executed a final approach to runway 25 at HE22 Baloza Airport from the east, maintaining a constant heading of 255.0° as it descended from an altitude of 579 feet above ground level (agl) to 2 nautical miles away from the runway.
The touchdown on runway 25 occurred with precision, albeit not quite meeting the target threshold speed of 102 knots. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 102 knots, which can be considered satisfactory given the conditions. Furthermore, the touchdown distance of 105 meters was deemed good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent into the runway.
At the point of touchdown, the aircraft's rate of descent was firm, reaching -312 feet per minute, suggesting minimal deviation from the intended flight path. Notably, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline, although this minor discrepancy does not appear to have impacted the overall landing quality.
Given the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 30°C, a wind speed of 9 knots at 13°, an 8-knot crosswind, and a 4-knot tailwind, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's dynamics to ensure a safe landing. One of the primary factors in achieving this was the runway rollout alignment, which was reported as very good.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 539 meters, corresponding to approximately 38% of the runway's length of 1,426 meters. This result demonstrates the pilot's skill and control in navigating the aircraft to a precise touchdown point, minimizing the distance needed to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was deemed successful, highlighting the pilot's proficiency and the aircraft's capabilities in handling the flight conditions.
