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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,984 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 880 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Black Square Starship with the registration N45FL, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LGSR Santorini Airport. This process took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Once at the runway, the aircraft departed from runway 33, with a takeoff distance of 2,561 feet, which accounted for 37% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 112 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 79°F and wind blowing at 20 knots from a direction of 319°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots. After departing from the airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 565 feet above sea level to 2,567 feet, an increase of 2,002 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles southwest of the airport. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,534 feet above sea level to 455 feet, a decrease of 2,078 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 33 at LGSR Santorini Airport, approaching from the southeast at a heading of 339.0°, at an altitude of 365 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The landing on runway 33 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 882 feet, which was 43% of the runway's length. The touchdown speed was 102 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -44 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions during the landing were a temperature of 77°F and wind blowing at 14 knots from a direction of 319°, with a crosswind component of 5 knots and a headwind component of 13 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 9 minutes. The aircraft used 112 pounds of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was successful, with good threshold height, threshold speed, touchdown distance, touchdown speed, and touchdown rate. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The aircraft, Black Square Starship N45FL, successfully landed at LGSR Santorini Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 339.0° at 1 nautical mile and 365 feet above ground level (agl). This positioning allowed the aircraft to make a precise touchdown on runway 33, which has a length of 6,984 feet.
The threshold height was well-maintained, and the threshold speed of 111 knots was achieved, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 882 feet was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 102 knots was consistent with the expected values. The most notable aspect of this landing was the perfect touchdown rate of -44 feet per minute (fpm), which is a testament to the pilot's skill and experience.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft landing 21 feet off the centerline. This minor misalignment may be attributed to the crosswind conditions, which were present during the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 14 knots at 319°, contributed to the crosswind of 5 knots and headwind of 13 knots.
Despite the minor deviation, the total landing distance of 2,986 feet was only 43% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing phase. Overall, this landing was a success, showcasing the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's expertise in navigating challenging weather conditions.
