The flight began with a departure roll from runway 26R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport. The aircraft, a PC-24 Air Ambulance, required a takeoff distance of 2,914 feet, which was 27% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 134 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 66 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 19 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern, it did so from runway 26R, and the distance covered in this maneuver was less than 1 nautical mile in 36 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind was also executed, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 6 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was completed over a distance of 3 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a heading of 95.3 degrees. The downwind leg itself was short, lasting less than 1 nautical mile in 9 seconds.

The pattern base leg turn was another 3-nautical-mile maneuver, with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a heading of 79.3 degrees. The base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 18 seconds. The final turn was the shortest of all, lasting less than 1 nautical mile in 24 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 26R, heading 268.0 degrees at an altitude of 2 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 26R was successful, with the touchdown point located 1,080 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 108 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -24 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 19 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 4,945 feet, which was 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 4 minutes. The aircraft used 106 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 26R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport in the PC-24 Air Ambulance

Landing Score 91.37 %

Landing Summary

The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, achieving a score of 91.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 268.0° at an altitude of 2 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles (nm) from the runway. This precise approach allowed the pilots to maintain control and execute a smooth landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 1,080 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 108 knots was within the target range, indicating that the pilots had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown rate of -24 feet per minute (fpm) was also perfect, demonstrating excellent control and precision.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a critical aspect of a safe and successful landing. This suggests that the pilots had accurately aligned the aircraft with the runway and were able to maintain control throughout the landing process. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 65°F and winds of 7 knots at 19°, presented a moderate challenge, but the pilots were able to adapt and execute a successful landing.

The total landing distance of 4,945 feet was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilots had successfully managed the aircraft's speed and descent, allowing for a smooth and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilots had maintained control and precision throughout the landing process.

Overall, the PC-24 Air Ambulance's landing at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport was a success, with the pilots demonstrating excellent control, precision, and adaptability in challenging weather conditions. The aircraft's performance and the pilots' skills were well-coordinated, resulting in a safe and successful landing.
