Departure roll occurred on runway 10, with the plane taking off into the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 36 °C and winds of 15 kt at 120 °. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 kt and a headwind of 11 kt.

As the aircraft took off, it reached a liftoff speed of 136 kt and covered a takeoff distance of 1,216 m, which was 44 % of the runway length. The climb began overhead the airport, where the plane lifted off from an elevation of 1,050 ft above sea level and rose to an altitude of 24,643 ft, an increase of 23,593 ft over 17 minutes while covering a distance of approximately 88 nm.

After completing the climb, the plane entered into a level cruise while 6 miles east of Capesterre-Belle-Eau, where it maintained its altitude for 9 minutes over a distance of 65 nm. However, the cruise was short-lived, and the plane began its descent from an altitude of 25,034 ft over All Saints in Antigua and Barbuda, eventually landing at Princess Juliana International Airport in the nearby country of Saint Martin, where it landed on runway 10.

During the descent, the aircraft decreased its elevation from 25,034 ft to 1,780 ft, a drop of 23,254 ft over the course of 22 minutes while covering a distance of 99 nm. The final approach was made from the west, and the plane touched down on the runway threshold before traveling an additional 160 m past the designated touchdown zone. Although the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 125 kt, the touchdown rate was firm at -308 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

Following the landing, the plane taxied to the parking area, a journey that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight duration was 60 minutes, and the plane used approximately 1,856 kg of fuel over the course of 260 nautical miles.

Landing Score 94.08 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport on runway 10. The final approach to the runway was initiated from the west at a heading of 81.0°, with a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,755 feet above ground level. The landing was deemed to be of high quality, scoring an impressive 94.1%.

Upon approaching the runway, the aircraft maintained a stable path, aligning perfectly with the runway touchdown zone. However, it slightly deviated from the target threshold speed, landing at 141 kt, which is significantly above the recommended speed. Nevertheless, the touchdown point was only 160 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a relatively smooth landing.

The pilot's control of the aircraft during the final descent and touchdown was noteworthy. The touchdown speed of 125 kt was slightly higher than desired, but the firm rate of descent, -308 fpm, suggests a deliberate and controlled touchdown. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating precise control and accuracy.

The conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 32°C and a headwind of 4 kt. The crosswind and headwind components combined to create a manageable situation for the pilot. The aircraft's ability to maintain stability and control in these conditions is a testament to its handling capabilities and the pilot's skill.

Once the aircraft touched down, it rolled out on the runway, maintaining perfect alignment. The total landing distance of 1,230 meters, which accounts for 54% of the runway's length, is indicative of a controlled and smooth touchdown. Overall, the landing was a significant accomplishment, demonstrating the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's maneuverability.
