Landing on runway 26L at KSUS Spirit of St Louis Airport in the Pilatus PC-24 N971LY
Landing Score 89.34 %
Landing Summary

The Pilatus PC-24 aircraft, registered as N971LY, successfully landed at the Spirit of St. Louis Airport (KSUS) on runway 26L. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 256.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,218 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 117 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 212 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown speed of 112 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, which may be a result of the aircraft's deceleration during the landing roll.

The touchdown rate of -222 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation during the landing. This could be attributed to the local weather conditions, including a temperature of -2°C and a crosswind of 8 knots from 159°. The tailwind of 1 knot may have also contributed to the aircraft's descent rate.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline, which may have resulted in a slightly longer landing distance. The total landing distance of 1,547 meters was 73% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 26.3 meters from the centerline, which may have required the pilots to make adjustments during the landing roll.

Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with the aircraft demonstrating good threshold height, speed, and distance. However, the touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment could be improved to achieve a more precise and controlled landing.
