The Piper Aerostar 600, scoring 97.1%, entered the final approach to runway 23 at KFMN Four Corners Regional Airport from the north-east on a heading of 231.0° at 2 nm and 1,064 ft agl, with temperature 33 °C, wind 11 kt from 224°, a 4 kt crosswind component and an 11 kt headwind. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate: off the glideslope.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and the threshold speed was good at 87 kt, indicating proper flare preparation.
Touchdown occurred 344 m down the runway, a good distance, with a touchdown speed of 78 kt that was good and a touchdown rate that was excellent at minus 98 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good and the total landing distance measured 886 m, representing 49 % of the 1,817 m runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good throughout the deceleration phase.
Future flights should focus on capturing the glideslope earlier to achieve a stabilized approach and avoid the off-glideslope condition noted at the 1,000 ft gate, thereby ensuring consistent approach geometry. Maintaining precise descent monitoring will help translate the strong touchdown performance into an overall stable landing profile.
