Arrival
This flight was conducted in a PC-12 aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from 26,883 feet above sea level (asl) to 29,739 ft asl, an increase of 2,855 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The climb began 1 mile northwest of EDGT Bottenhorn Airfield in Bad Endbach, Hessen, Germany.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise, which started 1 mile southeast of Wenden in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. This phase of the flight lasted for 54 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 246 nautical miles.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting 8 miles southeast of Walton-on-the-Naze in Essex, England. The descent was from 29,367 ft asl to 1,147 ft asl, a decrease of 28,220 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21R at EGBK Sywell Aerodrome was conducted from the northeast, with a heading of 204.0° at 3 nautical miles and 743 feet above ground level (agl). The landing on the runway, which has a length of 857 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was too high at 100 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 245 meters, but the touchdown speed at 86 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -236 feet per minute (fpm). Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots at 162°. The crosswind was 11 knots, while the headwind was 12 knots. The total flight distance was 357 nautical miles, taking 86 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 220 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The aircraft in question is a PC-12, which successfully landed at EGBK Sywell Aerodrome on runway 21R. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 204.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 743 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's approach was deemed satisfactory, with a score of 94.3%.
Upon landing, the pilot achieved a good threshold height, but unfortunately, the threshold speed was too high at 100 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more stable approach speed, potentially reducing the risk of a stall or other control issues. The touchdown distance of 245 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
However, the touchdown speed of 86 knots was a little fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to reduce their speed further before touching down. The touchdown rate of -236 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating that the pilot had some control over the aircraft's descent rate, but may have been able to achieve a more gradual touchdown.
One notable issue with the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 8.4 meters. This suggests that the pilot may have been slightly off-course during the final approach, potentially due to a combination of factors such as wind, airspeed, and control inputs.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from 162°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. These conditions may have presented some challenges for the pilot, particularly in terms of maintaining directional control and aligning with the runway centerline.
Overall, while the pilot's landing was satisfactory, there were some areas for improvement, including reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed, and improving the alignment of the runway touchdown position.
Landed with a 11 kt crosswind, well done!
