Landing on runway 10 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport in the PC-24 Air Ambulance

Landing Score 96.34 %

Landing Summary

The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport, achieving a score of 96.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 99.0° at 2 nautical miles and 652 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 10, which has a length of 1,322 meters.

The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 107 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's weight or the pilot's decision to prioritize a smooth touchdown. The touchdown distance of 363 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 102 knots was also within acceptable limits.

The touchdown rate was smooth, with a rate of -146 feet per minute (fpm), which is a desirable outcome for a safe and controlled landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a miscalculation of the approach path.

The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal, which contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The total landing distance of 863 meters was 65% of the runway length, which is a reasonable outcome given the aircraft's performance and the weather conditions.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a miscalculation of the rollout path. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a score of 96.3%.
