The flight began with the aircraft, a Beechcraft King Air 350, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Princess Juliana International Airport, located on the island of Saint Martin. This process took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 10, with a takeoff distance of 649 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 124 knots.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 70 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 14 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the Princess Juliana International Airport. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 252 feet above sea level to 2,104 feet, an increase of 1,852 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. This phase began 2 miles southeast of the Princess Juliana International Airport. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 10 at Saint Barthélemy - Rémy de Haenen Airport, located on the island of Saint Barthélemy. The approach was made from the west, with a heading of 85.0 degrees, at an altitude of 1,603 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 10 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 268 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 92 knots, also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was very hard, at -546 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.5 meters. The local weather conditions during the landing were a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 69 degrees, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.

The total landing distance was 353 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.2 meters.

Landing on runway 10 at TFFJ Saint Barthélemy - Rémy de Haenen Airport in the Beechcraft King Air 350

Landing Score 86.22 %

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft King Air 350 successfully landed at TFFJ Saint Barthélemy - Rémy de Haenen Airport, achieving an overall score of 86.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 85.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,603 feet above ground level (agl).

The pilot executed a good final approach, touching down on runway 10 with a speed of 92 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 268 meters was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, at -546 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.

Upon landing, the aircraft was slightly misaligned with the runway centerline, both at touchdown and during the rollout phase. The runway touchdown position was off-center by 4.5 meters, and the rollout alignment was off by 8.2 meters. These deviations may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a moderate headwind of 12 kt. The crosswind component was relatively light, at 4 kt. These conditions likely contributed to the successful landing, but may have also played a role in the slight misalignments observed during the rollout phase.

Overall, the Beechcraft King Air 350 demonstrated good performance during the landing, but could benefit from improvements in terms of touchdown rate and rollout alignment.
