The aircraft in question, a PC-12, successfully landed at EYPA Palanga International Airport, with a final approach from the north. The pilot's approach was well-executed, with a heading of 192.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,154 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on runway 19, which has a length of 1,976 meters.
The landing was deemed satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 83 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 233 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 77 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a slightly higher rate of descent. The touchdown rate was smooth at -148 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent.
One minor issue was noted during the landing, with the runway touchdown position being slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 280°. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a smooth landing.
The total landing distance was 849 meters, which is approximately 43% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a straight line and without any significant deviations from the centerline. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and a high level of proficiency.
