Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,455 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 538 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the TBM 930 started with a taxi to runway 34 at MPGU Augusto Vergara, with a short distance of less than 1 nm from parking to the runway. The duration of the taxi was 1 minute.
Upon departure, the aircraft rolled down runway 34 at MPGU Augusto Vergara, with a takeoff distance of 364 ft which was 11% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 92 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 59°F with a wind speed of 1 knot coming from 270° resulting in minimal crosswind and headwind.
The enroute climb began 1 mile north of MPGU Augusto Vergara, climbing from 1,076 ft above sea level to 2,935 ft, with an increase of 1,859 ft in altitude over 1 minute. The climb distance was 2 nm, finishing 2 miles northwest of MPGU Augusto Vergara.
The cruise phase of the flight commenced 3 miles northeast of Los Angeles, covering a distance of 22 nm in 8 minutes, and ending 6 miles southeast of MPAG El Coco Airport.
The descent portion of the flight started 6 miles south of Anton, descending from 2,836 ft to 1,805 ft, with a decrease of 1,031 ft in altitude over 2 minutes. The descent distance was 6 nm, finishing 5 miles south of Rio Hato.
The landing took place on runway 35 at MPSM Cap Scarlett R Martinez L Intl, with a runway length of 8,055 ft. The threshold height was 64 ft above ground level, with a speed at threshold of 88 knots. The touchdown occurred 1,749 ft from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 71 knots and a vertical speed indicator showing a descent rate of -53 ft/min. The local weather at the time of landing was 60°F with a wind speed of 1 knot coming from 269°.
The landing rollout on runway 35 at MPSM Cap Scarlett R Martinez L Intl covered a distance of 1,751 ft, with the total landing distance being 3,599 ft, which was 45% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking from runway 35 at MPSM Cap Scarlett R Martinez L Intl, with a distance to parking of less than 1 nm and a taxi duration of 1 minute.
In summary, the total flight distance was 38 nm, taking 18 minutes and consuming 120 lbs of fuel. The flight involved smooth taxiing, takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, landing, and taxiing phases with minimal weather disturbances.
Overall, this aircraft landing had a mix of strengths and weaknesses in the different phases of the landing process.
In the Approach Phase, the descent path was above the glideslope limit, which indicates that the aircraft was descending too steeply and may have required corrective action to reach the correct glide slope. However, the heading alignment and speed were on target, which is a positive sign and indicates good control of the aircraft.
During the Landing Phase, the threshold height was too high, which could indicate that the aircraft was not properly aligned with the runway or that the descent rate was too steep. However, the landing flare was good, which suggests that the pilot was able to smoothly transition the aircraft from descent to landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was excellent and speed was on target, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown point being 106 meters beyond the touchdown zone and 1.9 meters from the runway centerline suggests that there may have been some alignment issues during the final approach.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and keep it centered on the runway during the landing roll.
Overall, while there were some areas for improvement, such as descent path and touchdown point alignment, the landing had several positive elements, such as good speed control and landing flare. With some adjustments to improve descent path and alignment, future landings could be even smoother and more efficient.
