Landing on runway 07 at S89 Craigmont Municipal Airport in the PC-12

Landing Score 92.78 %

Landing Summary

The PC-12 aircraft successfully landed at S89 Craigmont Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 92.8%. The final approach to runway 07 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 85.0° at 1 nautical mile and 998 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.

The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 799 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 87 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 268 meters, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

The touchdown speed of 80 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -201 feet per minute (fpm). A slightly slower touchdown speed would have likely resulted in a more ideal touchdown rate. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 80°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.

The total landing distance of 649 meters was 81% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, the PC-12 aircraft demonstrated good handling and control during the landing, with a few minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown speeds. However, the aircraft was able to recover safely and land within a reasonable distance, earning a score of 92.8%.
