Landing on runway 01 at AYPB Paiela Airport in the Kodiak 100

Landing Score 76.22 %

Landing Summary

Kodiak 100 approached runway 01 at AYPB Paiela Airport from the south on a heading of 10.0° at 1 nm and 573 ft AGL. The final approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, being off the glideslope and off the centreline. Local weather was 20 °C with wind 5 kt from 270°, a 5 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt tailwind component.

At threshold the height was good and the aircraft crossed at a speed of 54 kt, which was well below the target speed; the report notes to take care not to stall.

Touchdown occurred 7 m from the threshold at a speed of 54 kt, which was rated good, and the vertical rate was minus 276 fpm, rated fair. The touchdown point was significantly misaligned, being 19.0 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance was 256 m, representing 50 % of the 513 m runway.

Rollout alignment was misaligned by 15.8 m from the centreline.

Improving glideslope and centreline tracking on the final approach will reduce the large lateral deviations observed at touchdown and during rollout. Maintaining the target approach speed will also help keep the touchdown point closer to the centreline and improve overall alignment.
