The PC-24 Cargo aircraft successfully landed at FACW Clanwilliam Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 158.0° at 1 nautical mile and 324 feet above ground level (agl), demonstrating precise navigation and control.
Upon reaching the runway threshold, the pilot executed a smooth touchdown, achieving a speed of 103 knots and a rate of descent of -97 feet per minute (fpm). This impressive touchdown rate indicates a high degree of control and precision, allowing the aircraft to touch down gently on the runway. The threshold speed of 110 knots was also well within the acceptable range, further emphasizing the pilot's expertise.
The landing distance of 169 meters was also satisfactory, considering the runway length of 745 meters. This indicates that the pilot was able to slow the aircraft down efficiently and maintain control throughout the landing process. The total landing distance of 464 meters, which accounts for 62% of the runway, is also noteworthy, as it demonstrates the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from 200°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 3 knots each, which further contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
In conclusion, the PC-24 Cargo aircraft's landing at FACW Clanwilliam Airport was a textbook example of precision and control. The pilot's exceptional skills and adherence to standard operating procedures resulted in a safe and efficient landing, with a perfect runway touchdown alignment and a rollout alignment that was also spot on.
