The departure roll took place on runway 18, with a takeoff distance of 2,023 feet, which was 33% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 104 knots.

As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of the airport and continued for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,427 feet above sea level to 23,006 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,579 feet.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles south of Dexter Field Cottonwood Falls. This phase lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 92 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile south east of Hancock Airport Piper. The descent took 9 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles, and resulted in a decrease in altitude of 19,334 feet, from 22,325 feet above sea level to 2,991 feet above sea level.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north west of Rollert Farm Airport Smithville. This phase lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 19 at Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport took place from the north, with the aircraft heading 197.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,707 feet above ground level.

The landing took place on runway 19, which had a length of 6,233 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 87 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 856 feet, and the touchdown speed was 78 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -448 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 83 feet from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°, with a crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind component of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,533 feet, which was 25% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 83 feet from the centreline.

Landing on runway 19 at KMKC Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport in the Vision Jet

Landing Score 81.61 %

Landing Summary

The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at the Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport (KMKC) on runway 19. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 197.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,707 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 78 knots, which was within the acceptable range.

The landing performance was generally good, with a touchdown distance of 856 feet, which is within the expected range. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard at -448 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach. The threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 87 knots, but this did not seem to have a significant impact on the landing.

One notable issue with the landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 83 feet off the centreline. This misalignment was also observed during the runway rollout, indicating that the aircraft may have drifted off the centreline during the landing. This could be due to a variety of factors, including crosswind or pilot error.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This suggests that the wind was not a significant factor in the landing, and the pilot may have been able to handle it effectively. However, the crosswind component was 1 knot, which may have contributed to the misalignment of the runway touchdown position.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining alignment with the centreline. The pilot may need to work on their crosswind handling skills and ensure that they are able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
