The Aircraft Velocity XL successfully landed at YPKG Kalgoorlie Boulder Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 289.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,477 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 29, which has a length of 6,548 feet, providing ample space for the aircraft to touch down safely.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 72 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to slow down slightly before touchdown. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 655 feet was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 62 knots was also within acceptable limits.
One of the key performance metrics for this landing was the touchdown rate, which was reported as -19 feet per minute (fpm). This is an ideal rate, as it indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any excessive deceleration. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or the pilot's decision to touch down slightly off-centre.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from 349°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. However, the pilot successfully managed these conditions to achieve a safe and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 2,541 feet was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot was able to slow the aircraft down quickly and efficiently after touchdown, and that the runway rollout alignment was perfect. Overall, this landing was a testament to the Aircraft Velocity XL's capabilities and the pilot's skill and experience.
