Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,003 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 320 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The RJ85 departed Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, taxiing from the parking to the runway took 6 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. Departure roll from runway 25R commenced, with a takeoff distance of 1,964 meters, accounting for 63% of the runway. Liftoff speed was achieved at 137 knots, as the aircraft overcame the local weather conditions, including a temperature of 43°C, wind at 7 knots from 245°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 6-knot headwind.
As the RJ85 climbed to cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb over Central City, Arizona, increasing from 2,095 feet above sea level to 2,862 feet in less than 1 minute, covering 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then transitioned to level cruise 1 mile south of Phoenix, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. A subsequent enroute climb from 3,157 feet to 29,670 feet, an increase of 26,513 feet, took 25 minutes and covered 148 nautical miles. The RJ85 then began its descent 9 miles east of Desert Center, California, decreasing from 29,688 feet to 10,140 feet in 20 minutes and covering 117 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to alternate between level cruise and descent phases, eventually beginning its final approach to runway 16R at Van Nuys Airport from the north.
The RJ85 landed on runway 16R, with a touchdown distance of 322 meters, a touchdown speed of 108 knots, and a smooth touchdown rate of -116 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance was 884 meters, accounting for 44% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking, taking 5 minutes and covering 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 343 nautical miles, taking 78 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,562 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft successfully completed a precise final approach to runway 16R at KVNY Van Nuys Airport from the north, aligning with the runway at 175.0° and descending from an altitude of 4 nm and 1,442 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 116 kt, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it demonstrated a smooth touchdown rate of -116 fpm, with a speed of 108 kt, which was also within the desired parameters.
The touchdown characteristics were impressive, with a touchdown distance of 322 m, which was well within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 kt, which further enhanced the stability of the aircraft during touchdown.
Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out along the runway, maintaining perfect centerline alignment. The total landing distance of 884 m, which accounted for 44% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. The aircraft's performance during the rollout phase was flawless, with no deviations from the centerline. Overall, the landing was a textbook example of precision and control, earning a score of 100.0%.
