The Piper Aerostar 600 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. Local conditions were 33 °C with wind 11 kt from 224°, giving a 4 kt cross-component and an 11 kt headwind. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the aircraft was off the glideslope.
At the threshold the aircraft maintained a good height and established a threshold speed of 87 kt, both recorded as good. The flare was executed without noted deviation.
Touchdown occurred 344 m down the runway at a speed of 78 kt, both described as good, with a vertical rate of -98 fpm rated excellent. Runway alignment at touchdown was perfect. The total landing distance was 886 m, representing 49 % of the 1,823 m runway length.
During rollout the aircraft remained perfectly aligned with the centreline, and the rollout alignment was recorded as perfect.
To improve the overall score, focus on achieving a stabilized approach by the 1,000 ft gate to remain on the glideslope, which will eliminate the only noted instability. Maintaining this discipline will convert the already strong performance into a fully compliant landing.
