Landing on runway 31L at KPSP Palm Springs International Airport in the PC-12

Landing Score 91.1 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 31L at KPSP Palm Springs International Airport, a 2,594-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the south east. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was above the target at 90 kt, indicating a slightly high approach speed. The touchdown point was 248 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 85 kt was a little fast, although the touchdown rate of -177 fpm was good.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.6 meters, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 1 kt. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 42 °C and a headwind of 8 kt, may have also contributed to the slight deviation from the centreline. The total landing distance of 951 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.

The rollout phase was characterized by very good alignment, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the deceleration phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 91.1%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point and speed, the pilot demonstrated good control and adherence to standard operating procedures.
