The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna 208B, then departed from runway 10 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport. The takeoff distance covered 62% of the runway, which was 823 meters long. The liftoff speed was 80 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb over Rheineck, a location in the Kanton St. Gallen region of Switzerland. The climb started at an altitude of 1,936 feet above sea level and increased to 2,656 feet, a rise of 720 feet, in just 1 minute while covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. This phase began 1 mile north of Gaissau, a location in the Vorarlberg region of Austria.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 10 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport. The approach was made from the west, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 98.0 degrees at an altitude of 466 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was made on the runway, which was 1,322 meters long, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 56 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 134 meters, and the touchdown speed was 50 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -248 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at the time of takeoff, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees.

Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 14 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 17 minutes. The aircraft used 28 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 10 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport in the Cessna 208B

Landing Score 90.86 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport, achieving a score of 90.9%. The final approach to runway 10 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 98.0° at 1 nautical mile and 466 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 56 knots, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance. The touchdown distance of 134 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and made a smooth landing. The touchdown speed of 50 knots was also within acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilot's skill.

However, there were some areas for improvement. The touchdown rate of -248 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have made a more controlled descent. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.8 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing roll.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot at 269°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, which reduced the risk of any significant deviations during the landing.

The total landing distance of 682 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.8 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position deviation.

Overall, the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the landing, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a more controlled descent and ensuring accurate alignment with the runway centreline.
