The Piper Aerostar 600 approached runway 31 at KSKX Taos Regional Airport on a final approach from the southeast, tracking a heading of 317.0° at 4 nm and 1,205 ft agl. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, being off the glideslope, while local weather was 28 °C with wind 10 kt from 278°, a 6 kt crosswind component and an 8 kt headwind.
At threshold the height was good and the aircraft reduced to a threshold speed slightly below target at 86 kt, setting up for the flare.
Touchdown occurred 433 m down the runway at a speed of 75 kt, both judged good, with an excellent touchdown rate of -92 fpm and a very good runway touchdown alignment. The total landing distance was 1,118 m, representing 43 % of the 2,616 m runway.
During rollout the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway centreline.
Focus on maintaining the glideslope to achieve a stabilized approach by the 1,000 ft gate, and fine-tune the approach speed to meet the target more closely.
