The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Princess Juliana International Airport, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an SR22, then departed from runway 10, utilizing 19% of the runway's length and achieving liftoff at a speed of 88 knots.
During the initial climb, the aircraft ascended from 1,051 feet above sea level to 3,511 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,460 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This climb took place approximately 1 mile south of Marigot, in the Arrondissement de Saint-Martin-Saint-Barthelemy, Saint Martin.
As the flight continued, the aircraft began its descent from 3,510 feet above sea level to 1,215 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,295 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. This descent started 5 miles southeast of Marigot.
The final approach to runway 10 at Saint Barthélemy - Rémy de Haenen Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 88.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 1,156 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 10, which had a length of 2,106 feet, was notable for being very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed of 94 knots was also too fast, resulting in a heavy touchdown rate of -1,746 feet per minute.
Despite the challenges, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also spot on. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 5 knots from 267 degrees, with no crosswind and a tailwind of 5 knots.
The total flight distance was 17 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 9 minutes, with no fuel being consumed during the flight.

The aircraft in question, a SR22, successfully landed at TFFJ Saint Barthélemy - Rémy de Haenen Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The pilot's final approach to runway 10 from the west was on a heading of 88.0° at 1 nautical mile and 1,156 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on a runway that was 2,106 feet long, which is a relatively short runway.
Upon touchdown, the pilot's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, coming in at 94 knots. This excessive speed resulted in a very long touchdown point, with the aircraft using more than 50% of the available runway. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 94 knots was too fast, and the resulting touchdown rate was extremely heavy, at -1,746 feet per minute (fpm). This heavy touchdown rate can be a concern for the aircraft's safety and the well-being of its occupants.
Despite these issues, the pilot managed to maintain perfect runway touchdown alignment, which is a testament to their skill and experience. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from 267°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component, but a 5-knot tailwind, which may have contributed to the excessive touchdown speed.
The total landing distance was 2,112 feet, which is exactly the length of the runway. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within the available runway length, but at the cost of a very long touchdown point and a heavy touchdown rate. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, which suggests that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
Overall, while the landing was successful, it highlights the importance of proper speed management and touchdown technique. The pilot's excessive speed and heavy touchdown rate may have been influenced by the tailwind, but it is still a concern that needs to be addressed to ensure safe and efficient landings in the future.
