The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 544 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 544 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 20 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a TBM 930, then departed from runway 02 at Tribhuvan International Airport (VNKT) in Nepal. The takeoff distance was 920 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 109 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at an angle of 80 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft began its enroute climb 3 miles north of Madhyapur Thimi, a town in the Bagmati Province of Nepal. The climb took place from an altitude of 5,457 feet above sea level to 16,999 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,542 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 16 miles east of Dhulikhel, another town in the Bagmati Province. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 34 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 5 miles west of Phaplu Airport (VNPL), located in the Province 1 of Nepal. The descent took place from an altitude of 16,985 feet above sea level to 9,673 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,312 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles southwest of Lukla Airport (VNLK), also located in the Province 1 of Nepal. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 06 at Lukla Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 62.0 degrees at an altitude of 0 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 06 at Lukla Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 12 meters. The touchdown speed was 69 knots, which was slightly below the target speed. The touchdown rate was perfect at 601 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1 degree Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at an angle of 273 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 315 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 79 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 29 minutes. The aircraft used 86 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 930 aircraft successfully landed at VNLK Lukla Airport, achieving a score of 95.7%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 62.0° at 0 nm and -167 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 06, which has a length of 544 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 69 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 12 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 69 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of 601 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 273°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained perfect runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance of 315 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
