The flight in question was conducted using a PC-21 aircraft. The flight began with an enroute climb from 20,000 feet above sea level (asl) to 21,903 ft asl, an increase of 1,903 feet in just 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. This climb started 3 miles west of Albatana in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile, also starting 3 miles west of Albatana. However, the flight soon transitioned into an enroute descent from 21,748 ft asl to 20,802 ft asl, a decrease of 947 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. This descent also began 3 miles west of Albatana.
The aircraft then initiated another enroute climb from 20,610 ft asl to 21,092 ft asl, an increase of 482 feet in 2 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles. This climb started 3 miles northeast of Tobarra in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. The flight then entered another enroute level cruise, lasting 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile, starting 3 miles north of Tobarra.
However, the flight soon transitioned into a significant enroute descent from 21,092 ft asl to 4,933 ft asl, a decrease of 16,159 feet in 9 minutes, covering 22 nautical miles. This descent also began 3 miles north of Tobarra. Following this descent, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles, starting 4 miles northwest of Hoya-Gonzalo in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain.
The flight then initiated a final descent from 4,689 ft asl to 3,352 ft asl, a decrease of 1,337 feet in 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles. This descent started 2 miles northeast of Chinchilla de Monte Aragon in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain.
The final approach to runway 27 at LEAB Albacete Airport / Los Llanos Air Base was conducted from the east, heading 264.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,069 feet above ground level (agl). The landing on runway 27 was successful, with a runway length of 2,655 meters. However, the threshold speed was too high at 122 knots, and the touchdown point was 99 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 108 knots, which was considered fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -120 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centreline, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, wind of 4 knots at 270°, with no crosswind and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 946 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.0 meters from the centreline.
The total flight distance was 40 nautical miles, taking 17 minutes, and the aircraft used 62 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The PC-21 aircraft successfully landed at LEAB Albacete Airport / Los Llanos Air Base, achieving an overall score of 87.8%. The final approach to runway 27 was initiated from the east, heading 264.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,069 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,655 meters.
Upon evaluation, it was noted that the threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was too high at 122 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more optimal speed during the approach. The touchdown point was 99 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilot may have been slightly off-target. The touchdown speed of 108 knots was also found to be faster than recommended, which could have resulted in a longer landing distance.
The touchdown rate was, however, smooth at -120 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the pilot maintained control and managed the descent effectively. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 4 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly higher touchdown speed.
The total landing distance was 946 meters, which accounts for 36% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's size and the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was also found to be slightly misaligned by 10.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the landing roll or during the taxiing process.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining optimal speeds and aligning with the runway centerline during the approach and landing roll.
