The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,551 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 219 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KTIX Space Coast Regional Airport, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll from runway 36 was smooth, with a takeoff distance of 653 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 98 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 19°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 350°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind was 13 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,047 feet above sea level to 1,073 feet, an increase of 26 feet in 1 minute, covering 2 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles southeast of Titusville, Florida, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 5 miles east of KTTS Space Florida Launch and Landing Facility, where it climbed from 1,045 feet to 27,312 feet, an increase of 26,267 feet in 32 minutes, covering 80 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued 41 miles east of Crescent Beach, Florida, and lasted for 41 minutes, covering 155 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it started a descent 4 miles southwest of Seabrook Island, South Carolina, where it descended from 28,291 feet to 27,233 feet, a decrease of 1,057 feet in 2 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile east of SC50 Yonges Island Airport, and lasted for 57 minutes, covering 269 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another descent 5 miles east of Seaboard, North Carolina, where it descended from 26,422 feet to 3,447 feet, a decrease of 22,975 feet in 30 minutes, covering 106 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued 1 mile southwest of Passapatanzy, Virginia, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its final destination, it started a descent 5 miles south of Independent Hill, Virginia, where it descended from 2,694 feet to 2,066 feet, a decrease of 628 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile southwest of VA71 Aden Field Manassas, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering 22 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 31 at 2VG2 Upperville Airport was from the southeast, with a heading of 301.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,183 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 31 was smooth, with a touchdown distance of 218 meters, which was 31% of the runway. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 77 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 3°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 294°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 13 knots. The total landing distance was 485 meters, and the total flight distance was 682 nautical miles, taking 193 minutes and using 313 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question, a M500, successfully landed at Upperville Airport's runway 31 with an impressive score of 99.8%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 301.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,183 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a smooth and controlled descent, with a good threshold height and speed of 91 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 218 meters, which is well within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 77 knots was slightly higher than the optimal speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -138 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the aircraft's descent was well-controlled.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from 294°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 13 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable. The total landing distance of 485 meters was 31% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to align the aircraft with the runway centerline. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well within the acceptable parameters.
