The flight began with a departure roll from runway 10 at LPFR Faro Airport, with the Sukhoi SuperJet 100 taking off after covering 4,237 feet, which is 54% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 182 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 64 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 70 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead LPFR Faro Airport. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,016 feet above sea level to 10,469 feet, an increase of 9,453 feet, in just 2 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The climb was a steep one, with the aircraft gaining altitude at a rapid rate.

After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile southwest of Loule, Portugal. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 11,015 feet above sea level to 1,396 feet, a decrease of 9,619 feet, in 9 minutes. During this descent, the aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached the airport, it began its final approach to runway 10, which it was approaching from the west. The aircraft was heading 100.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway and at an altitude of 1,360 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 10 was not entirely smooth, with the aircraft touching down 2,177 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 142 knots, which was good, but the touchdown rate was firm at -340 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 42 feet from the centreline. At the time of landing, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 61 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 13 knots at a direction of 80 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.

The total landing distance was 5,236 feet, which is 66% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline. Despite some minor issues with the landing, the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely.

The total flight distance was 18 nautical miles, and the flight took 15 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 1,652 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 10 at LPFR Faro Airport in the Sukhoi SuperJet 100

Landing Score 76.93 %

Landing Summary

The Sukhoi SuperJet 100 successfully landed at LPFR Faro Airport, but the landing was not without some issues. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 100.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,360 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 10, which has a length of 7,886 feet.

Upon landing, the threshold height was found to be above the target, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly higher than intended. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 162 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly higher touchdown height. The touchdown point was 2,177 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot.

Despite these issues, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -340 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 42 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind or pilot error.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 13 knots at 80°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 4 knots, but the headwind component was 12 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing.

The total landing distance was 5,236 feet, which is 66% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft may have been slowed down more than necessary during the approach. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position misalignment.

Overall, while the Sukhoi SuperJet 100 successfully landed at LPFR Faro Airport, there were several issues with the landing that need to be addressed to improve the aircraft's performance and safety.
