Arrival Final 2

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PC-12, then departed from runway 26 at NCRG Rarotonga International Airport. The takeoff distance was 402 meters, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 102 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 16 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile west of NCRG Rarotonga International Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,023 feet above sea level to 18,631 feet above sea level in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase started 46 miles northwest of NCRG Rarotonga International Airport and lasted for 58 minutes, covering a distance of 732 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 14 miles east of Lalomanu, Atua, Samoa, descending from 18,565 feet above sea level to 3,097 feet above sea level in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 4 miles northeast of Lotofaga, Atua, Samoa, and lasting for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began again 1 mile southwest of Solosolo, Atua, Samoa, with the aircraft descending from 2,376 feet above sea level to 1,306 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 28 at NSFI Fagali'i Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 293.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 1,152 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28, which had a length of 584 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 90 knots.

The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was 87 knots, which was fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -258 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 21 knots from a direction of 303 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 21 knots.

Landing Summary

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.
