The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,192 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 262 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Harbin Taiping International Airport, the Cessna 208B began its journey with a smooth taxiing process, taking just one minute to reach the runway. With a gentle departure roll from runway 23, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 81 kt, utilizing only 18% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from the west.
As the aircraft climbed to 7,926 ft asl, it covered a distance of 16 nm in just 7 minutes, achieving an impressive climb rate. The enroute level cruise phase began 10 miles west of Shuangcheng Air Base, where the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 32 minutes, covering a distance of 95 nm. The descent phase started 6 miles north of Changchun Longjia International Airport, where the aircraft descended from 8,000 ft asl to 6,001 ft asl in just 2 minutes, covering 5 nm. The final approach to runway 06 at Changchun Longjia International Airport was executed from the south west, with a heading of 49.0° at 4 nm and 1,494 ft agl.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 62 kt and a touchdown distance of 259 m, utilizing only 33% of the available runway length. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance was 1,039 m, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 150 nm, taking 63 minutes, and the aircraft used 216 kg of fuel. The flight was executed efficiently, with good weather conditions and favorable wind conditions contributing to a smooth and successful journey.
The Cessna 208B touched down on runway 06 at ZYCC Changchun Longjia International Airport with a score of 96.5%. The aircraft's approach to the runway from the southwest, heading 49.0° at 4 nm and 1,494 ft above ground level, was characterized by good quality, with a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold height was well managed, and the threshold speed of 64 kt was achieved as expected.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 259 m and a touchdown speed of 62 kt, both of which were within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was slightly harder than desired at -413 fpm. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,039 m, which accounted for 33% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft's performance reflecting a high level of skill and control from the pilot.
