Departure
Arrival
The flight began with an enroute climb from an initial altitude of 4,457 feet above sea level (asl) as the aircraft, a PC-12, departed from the Panhandle area in Texas, United States. The climb was initiated overhead the Panhandle region and resulted in a gain of 126 feet in just one minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This climb phase brought the aircraft to an altitude of 4,582 feet asl.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft began its descent, starting 1 mile east of the Panhandle-Carson County Airport in Texas. The descent from 4,589 feet asl to 3,615 feet asl was a significant decrease of 974 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This descent phase brought the aircraft to a lower altitude, preparing it for the final approach to the destination.
The final approach to runway 17 at Stamps Field (3TE5) was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 176.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 159 feet above ground level (agl) and had covered a distance of 0 nautical miles. The approach was conducted with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 98 knots.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 17, which had a length of 513 meters. The touchdown distance was good at 135 meters, but the touchdown speed of 94 knots was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate was firm at -346 feet per minute, indicating a relatively steep descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.2 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 211 degrees. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully landed the aircraft.
The flight was relatively short, covering a total distance of 6 nautical miles in 3 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was conducted with good results, considering the challenging weather conditions and the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely to the destination.

The aircraft in question is a PC-12, which successfully landed at Stamps Field, 3TE5, on runway 17. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 176.0°, at an altitude of 159 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, resulting in a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 98 knots. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control and was able to manage the aircraft's descent and speed effectively. The touchdown distance of 135 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely onto the runway.
However, the touchdown speed of 94 knots was slightly faster than ideal, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -346 feet per minute. This may indicate that the pilot could have applied a bit more control during the final stages of the approach to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.2 meters, which may be attributed to the crosswind conditions present during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing included a temperature of 28°C and wind speeds of 14 knots from 211°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to navigate the aircraft safely onto the runway, achieving a score of 95.5%.
