The aircraft in question, a PC-12, successfully landed at NSFI Fagali'i Airport, with a final approach from the southeast. The pilot's approach was executed at a heading of 293.0°, approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway and at an altitude of 1,152 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was completed on runway 28, which has a length of 584 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 90 knots. This may indicate that the pilot was slightly behind schedule or had to adjust for any wind conditions. The touchdown point was located very far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available length. This suggests that the pilot may have been trying to stretch out the landing or was not able to slow down as quickly as desired.
The touchdown speed of 87 knots was faster than the target speed, which may have contributed to the long touchdown point. The touchdown rate of -258 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating that the pilot was able to slow down the aircraft relatively quickly after touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a straight course during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 21 knots from a direction of 303°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 21 knots, which may have affected the pilot's approach and landing. The total landing distance was 430 meters, which is 74% of the available runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was also reported as perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some areas for improvement, such as the slightly above-target threshold speed and the fast touchdown speed.
