Landing on runway 03 at TUPW Virgin Gorda Airport in the Beechcraft King Air 350

Landing Score 89.67 %

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft King Air 350 successfully landed at TUPW Virgin Gorda Airport, with a score of 89.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 17.0° at 0 nm and 387 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, touching down on runway 03, which has a length of 791 meters.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly too high at 125 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 260 meters was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 107 knots was a bit fast, and the touchdown rate of -430 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard. This may indicate that the pilot could have applied a smoother touchdown, reducing the impact on the aircraft.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind conditions. The local weather at the time of landing was characterized by a temperature of 28°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 86°. The crosswind component was 14 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions may have affected the pilot's ability to maintain a perfectly aligned touchdown.

Despite the minor issues, the total landing distance of 553 meters was only 70% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, showing that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with some areas for improvement to achieve a higher score.
